Do truck tyers not get balanced then?

[@Treline86]

Rear tires does not get balanced. Front ones do. Altho some of my customers like them balanced with sand just to be sure.

It’s a dual take the outside one and swap it with the inside tyre 😂

Get your self a slide hammer 100x easier breaking the beads then using hammer and Steel or hammer and TL but when I did commercial I used a slide hammer and when braking the beads on a 445/45r19.5 they are so much easier and less afford in breaking the beads

Not much point with a 600nm torque wrench after you twat the living shite out of it with a 1500ftlb impact wrench. Never understand why tyre fitters bother with a torque wrench.

@@blokebeershed7651 yes but I mean from a damage point of view. You wouldn't put a cylinder head on with a impact wrench then torque it after.
