DIAMOND BAR, Calif. The Wheel & Tire Council (WTC) of the Specialty Equipment Market Association is planning a webinar on April 22 covering common causes of tire-balancing process errors and how to avoid them.
The webinar, scheduled to start at 3 p.m. EDT (noon PDT), is open to all interested parties, the WTC said, and should last one hour.
In its preface to the webinar, the WTC calls the process of balancing one of the most important things wheel and tire professionals should know. Unbalanced tire/wheel assemblies can result in vehicle vibration, uneven tire wear and improper weight distribution.
Among those scheduled to speak are Keith Buckley, customer engineering solutions at Goodyear; Kent Hobson, tire/battery center operations at Sam s Club; and Kevin Keefe, vice president, service and sales support at Hennessy Industries L.L.C.
