Rim problems

 messages appear when:

1) rim radial 

runout 

is high

or

2) rim lateral 

runout 

is high

or

3) wheel 1-harmonic 

runout 

is high and

 

the

proportion of 

runout 

between rim and tire is

greater than 60 per cent (high rim 1-harmonic

runout

).

Alert Message

If no 

matching 

is recommended:

High 

runout 

on rim, but no possibility of improving by

matching

. Check rim for defects.

If 

matching

 is recommended:

High 

runout 

on rim. Geometric 

matching 

is

recommended.

Warning Message

Possible issue with rim, but no possibility of improving
by 

matching

. Check rim for defects.

If 

matching 

is recommended:

Potential problem on the rim. Check rim for defects.

Tire problems

 messages appear when:

1) wheel 1-harmonic 

runout 

is high and the

proportion of 

runout 

between rim and tire is

less then 40 per cent (low rim 1-harmonic

runout

)

Alert Message

If no 

matching 

is recommended:

High 

runout 

on tire, but no possibility of improving by

matching

. Check tire for defects.

If 

matching 

recommended:

High 

runout
