True or False - Used tires cannot be Road Force Balanced

[GTP]

I get conflicting information on this. What is the truth?

Do you get any explanation? I don't see why you wouldn't be able to.

You can road force tires.

yes you can road force used tires, all it is is a more detailed balancing
a more true balancing that it allows to see exactly how the entire assembly will act on the road. but with used tires it will have it's limits/ I mean the process can be done but the outcome is more exact on new tires thats all.

Tires wear unevenly so a used tires would have uneven spots already making the road force balance difficult I assume.

Correct Thats why if its a hunter road force touch they can do a match 180 procedure to ensure the runout reads out properly.

I believe that that's the reason right there.

Please explain.

Please explain.

So this process is when they match the high point of the tire with the low point of the wheel. now this is something ive seen done on new tires. That being said it may be more difficult on used tires, but it may also be possible.
