I took 2 tires into the local shop with the Hunter GSP9700 to have them test the roadforce vibration and balance, and after the first one they came back out and told me that they could correct the balance by moving weights but were unable to assess the roadforce because of the condition of the tire.
The tires do have some choppy wear on the inside shoulder, and I have recently replaced some suspension parts to hopefully correct the problems, but I would have thought that the machine would have at least given some type of reading. Does anyone know if it's possible that the machine is unable to give data for the vibration anaylsis? His thought was that there was an internal problem in the tire that precluded the machine from making an assessment. Does this sound legit? The tires do make a speed-dependant whump, whump, whump sound from about 45-75 mph, and that's the reason I wanted them assessed and balanced to see it the noise and shimmy could be reduced.
