Of the several illustrations, Figure 6 is self-explanatory: A new tyre (12) rotated by rollers applied to its outer periphery, has compression rollers (32) applied to its sides with a force sufficient to compress the rotating tyre as shown. - This procedure lasting a few minutes only, ensures that the new tyre embeds itself adequately into its wheel frame. After that, the wheel is balanced; no repeat balancing is needed thereafter.

ADVANTAGE - New tyres frequently have to be balanced at least twice; the extra cost can now be avoided.
