In this workshop segment, Mike Melton addresses a new trainee operating a tire‑inflation machine. He explains that after inflating the tire, the trainee should massage the bead to eliminate radial run‑out in the wheel‑tire assembly before it proceeds to the balancer. This pre‑balancing preparation is presented as essential for achieving the smoothest possible ride.

Come on around. Now he's new on this machine, so don't, don't hit him too hard in the comments. This guy's new on this machine, he's training on it. He got it. After he's done inflating it, what he's going to do, he's going to massage the bees. That way we get all the radial run out of these, out of these wheels and tire setup before it goes to the balancer. That way it's going to ride the best.
