ABSTRACT:
Balancing a wheel and tire assembly includes sensing imbalance of a wheel and tire assembly and determining therefrom the magnitude and placement of at least one correction weight to correct the imbalance. The magnitude of the correction weight is compensated to correct for curvature of actual correction weights. The compensated magnitude is displayed to the user. If the weight amount or placement spot is inconvenient for the user, the user can initiate a split weight procedure which determines a pair of weight magnitudes and weight placements which are vectorially equivalent to the corresponding single correction weight in terms of correcting imbalance. The pair of weight magnitudes are reverse compensated for curvature to calculate the effective weights thereof and the weight placements are calculated based upon the effective weights.
