An automotive tire imbalance can produce significant vibration at vehicle highway speeds, which results in customer satisfaction loss. It is important to have well balanced tires in order to achieve a smooth and comfortable ride. For a disk-shaped object placed on the axle with negligible friction, one can distinguish between two types of imbalance: static and dynamic. This paper considers the effect of static tire balance on dynamic tire balance. Monte-Carlo simulation is used to show that the tolerance on static balance can be relaxed without much effect on dynamic balance. This reduces the total (static and dynamic balances combined) tire rejection rate by as much as 25 %, which can result in considerable cost savings. All data in this paper have been transformed for confidentiality.
