As a former Ford Field Service Engineer, the GSP9700 is the ONLY Balancer that I will use on my personal vehicles. Road Force, Lateral Force (pull), accurate balance, and Smart Weight weight usage reduction add up to the BEST balancer on the market. This machine is loaded with other time and effort saving features like wheel lift, QuickThread or AutoClamp, as well as diagnostics such as wheel runout.
When balancing something you have the option of adding or removing mass. When brake rotors are balanced, they'll remove material at the heaviest spot. Essentially this is the negative weight you describe. When balancing wheels from modern vehicles we don't have the option to machine the rim so we always add weight opposite the heavy spot to perform a balance. In theory you could remove weight 180 deg from where the balancer is calling for weight, but this isn't practical/safe on today's wheels.
A Road Force measurement of 16 lbs means that the force applied to the pavement from the tire/wheel varies by 16lbs per revolution. Therefore a Road Force reading of 0 lbs would mean no force variation per revolution and thus a "perfect ride." The Hunter default limit for most passenger cars is 20lbs and 35lbs for trucks. 16lbs is a good assembly and should not cause a vibration on your vehicle. You can visit GSP9700.com for more information.
I use and older version of this without the lasers or autoclamp. The smart weight got me thinking is there any such thing as needing negative the weight on a side or 2 sides? I always have to attach positive weights.
I was told that one of my tires rated at 16 lbs. on the Road Force balancer. The others were 15 and 13. What does this mean and what are acceptable numbers?
