Hunter GSP9700 Wheel vibration Control System solves wheel vibration and tire pull problems that balancers and aligners can't fix

There are several near me, but my usual place for tires does not have one.

Lee,

I just found out Hunters web site does not list our Hunter Equipment. We have both the Hunter Road Force Balancer and the TC3500 tire machine.

If a Tire shop has a Road Force Balancer they most likely also have a Hunter TC3500 Tire Mounting machine. The TC3500 uses rubber feet to grab the rim. Some machines use steel claws that can damage the inside of the rim. The TC3500 also uses a polymer duck head to mount and dismount the tire and a bead roller to break the tire bead. Most tire machines use a clam shell desgn to break beads which can damage or scratch a rim if the operator is not careful. It's almost impossible to damage a rim with a TC3500. One problem with the TC3500 is it not very good with run flat tires and low profile tires.

If anyone needs help with tires or even wants to mount their own tires look me up and I can set you up with some shop time.
