Bagging???? truck tyers???

Recommended Posts

I know large wheels, off trucks and the like, are not balanced like car wheels.

 

But I heard from someone that they can be "bagged", which apparently is where a bag of fine silica sand is emptied into the tyre and when the wheel spins it settles around the inside of the tyre balancing it.

 

Has any one heard of this and where could I get my mog wheels done??

 

Cheers, Dave.

A friend who has a landrover, had lead shot in his tyres to balance them. As they tyre wore the shot would move around to keep the wheel ballanced. He was very pleased with them and sorced his through devon 4x4, you could try contacting them, they may be able to point you in the right direction.

Im curious, how does the sand/shot actually settle in the correct places in the tyre?

 

The way i see it, is the weight will stop rolling wherever it happens to be when the centrofugal force stops it rolling. Cant imagine how it moves to the correct place to balance the wheel.

 

Very interested how this would work. Is there any info or link about it?

Yep, cheers Tom, but i still dont see how the tyre knows where the extra weight or less weight should be and how it gets there.

 

I have a vision of the stuff rolling around as the vehicle sets off, then when it reaches a certain speed the "stuff" sticks to the outside due to centrefugal forces making it do so. I cant see how this is automatically the correct place to balance the wheel.

 

I am willing to be educated here:confused1:
