Mike Melton demonstrates roadforce balancing on a MaxGrip AT tire. The roller applies 1,200 pounds of force to simulate vehicle load, and the measurement shows nine pounds of force with a three and three-quarters pound weight reading, indicating the wheel's balance condition.

So now let's go ahead and take this outside and go and balance this thing up, see how this thing does. All right, now let's go ahead, balance it out. Now, before we do that, what we got to do, we got to take that damn sticker off. So now, on a wheel like this, because of how deep that lip is, you got a static. Balance this wheel. All right, now we got it rolling. We ain't going to cut it. We ain't going to edit here. In just a second, that roller's going to come down. If you're not sure what that roller does, what that does, it puts 1200 pounds of force on that tire, assimilating it being ridden on the vehicle itself. And we're going to check for anything that's going to cause the vibration. So here, in just a second, that'll come off. All right, rollers coming off now. Where we at? Look at that. Nine pounds of force. Only three and three quarters weight.
