Match Mounting Tires
Match mounting is a technique used to reduce radial runout. Excessive runout is a source of vibration, shimmy and poor handling concerns. Use the
following steps to reduce radial runout:
1. Dismount the tire and remount it with the mark on the tire 180° away from the mark on the wheel.
2. Inflate the tire to specifications.
3. Measure the radial runout of the tire at the center of the tread face. If the radial runout is within specifications, the tire and wheel assembly can be
used. If radial runout is not within specifications, replace the component(s) with the individual radial runout above specifications.
Runout
NOTE: Perform runout checks only after the vehicle has been driven far enough to warm the tires and to avoid false readings caused by temporary
flat spots on the tires.
To equalize tire wear, the tires should be rotated at recommended intervals.
Excessive radial and lateral runout of a wheel and tire assembly can cause roughness, vibration, wheel tramp, tire wear and steering wheel tremor.
The extent of the runout is measured with Dial Indicator. All measurements are made on the vehicle with the tires inflated to recommended inflation
pressures.
Use Dial Indicator to measure the (1) radial and the (2) lateral wheel runout, and the (4) radial and the (3) lateral tire runout at the positions shown in
