If you experience vibrations, there can be multiple causes, not all related to tire balance. Here are some reasons for tire/suspension vibrations:

• Out of round (defective) tires
• Tire damage (broken belts, etc.)
• Worn shock absorbers, struts, ball joints, kingpins
• Bent or wrongly mounted tire/wheel assembly
• Shifted tire belts
• Excessive tire/wheel assembly run-out
• Alignment issues, especially toe-in settings

For side-to-side (wobbling) vibrations, consider these potential causes:

• Bent wheels
• Bent axles
• Improper wheel installation
• Loose, damaged or worn out wheel bearings
• Loose front end components

Balancing Issues with Ride-On

The severe dose of Ride-On can cause balancing issues in high-speed vehicles.

To avoid ride and handling disturbances, it's crucial to install the correct recommended dosages. Installing too little or too much can cause balancing issues and sealing problems. Therefore, it is essential to use the published dosages and the appropriate formula for your vehicle.

• Drive the Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle has been driven at least 5 miles (8 km) at high speed (minimum 55 mph) to completely spread the sealant inside your tires.
• Identify the Source: Determine if the vibration is from the front wheels (vibration of steering wheel) or the rear wheels (vibration of the vehicle body). Follow these steps only for the tires that seem to be the source of the problem.
• Remove Wheel Weights: Remove the wheel weights from both tires on the axle where you feel the vibrations (e.g., if the vibration is felt in the steering wheel, remove the wheel weights from both front wheels).
• Add More Ride-On: Add more Ride-On to reach the severe dosage.
• Test Drive: Drive the vehicle again at highway speeds to see if the vibration has dissipated. Over 90% of the time, this method resolves vibration issues.
• Additional Ride-On: If vibrations persist, add more Ride-On: 2 oz. for cars and motorcycles, and 4 oz. for trucks and SUVs.
• Final Test Drive: Drive the vehicle again at highway speeds to see if the vibration has dissipated. If the vibrations persist, remove the product and rebalance the tires. Note that up to 5% of tires may not be satisfactorily balanced due to excessive ribbing inside the tires or non-concentric (defective out of round) tires.
