West bend dyno picked up some new high tech toys to take care of any tire change needs. They also offer tire and wheel sales of virtually any brand. Call 262 692 9035 or email westbendyno@juno.com to inquire on tire pricing and availability.

Pricing is as follows:

60-55 series tires M&B $14.50 a wheel

40-45 series tires M&B $19.50 a wheel

35 series or less M&B $24.99 a wheel

Valve stems are $2 a piece

Balance only is a flat rate of $6 a wheel OR for an additional $5 a wheel, the "match balance" function can be performed where the machine identifies if the tire can be match balanced to the rim and shows you were to mark the side wall, you then break the bead of the tire, rotate it till the mark lines up with the valve stem and should eliminate the need for ANY weights on that wheel.

Obviously the rim condition and tire have alot to do with how effective this procedure will be in elminating weights. But this is critical to some as they want no visible weight on high end wheels.

Also this machine can pin point based off the number of wheel spokes to where to place stick on weights BEHIND the spokes so they are not easily visible.

Mount and balance up to 30" rim and up to a 44" tall tire and max width of 20". They have the hub adapters up to 1 ton trucks.

Can you do larger truck tires? 33's or bigger, the one in pic looks large but I have some I need balanced soon.

Mount and balance up to 30" rim and up to a 44" tall tire and max width of 20". They have the hub adapters up to 1 ton trucks, but anything larger they cant physically get on the balancer yet till they get the larger hub adapter which could fit a semi wheel.

Let us know when they get a hub adaptor for semi wheels.

Your balancer sounds like a top-of-the-line machine. I will def get a hold of you when I am in need of some balancing.

Able to do drag slicks and wheels? If so I will swing up soon. Maybe when Carl brings the 928 back with the new cog belt setup.

Just had all the tires checked on the wife's and rebalanced...awesome results.

using a standard machine the balance was never right/correct w/ a vibration through the steering wheel @ 63-67mph...even after having the the machine re-calibrated, never could get that vibration away.

So, took it up to West Bend Dyno to see if it was possible to balance...the computer showed it wasn't anything wrong w/ tire/wheel or how it was mounted, and they balanced it perfectly. Felt like a different car driving it home...


thanks brad! Nice to meet you guys...
