Abstract

The magnitude of an amount of correction of unbalance at each axially opposite end face of the rim-fitted tire and the position on a circumference of each of the rim end faces are measured by means of an unbalance measuring machine for simultaneously measuring an amount of correction of static unbalance and an amount of correction of dynamic unbalance. The magnitude of the amount of correction of static unbalance, the position of an amount of correction of static unbalance on a rim periphery for minimizing a magnitude of an amount of correction of residual dynamic unbalance, the magnitude of the amount of correction of residual dynamic unbalance, and the position of the amount of correction of residual dynamic unbalance on the circumference of each of the rim end faces are calculated on the basis of the magnitude of the amount of correction of unbalance and the position of the amount of correction of unbalance on the circumference of each of the rim end faces measured. A balance weight of a magnitude corresponding to the magnitude of the amount of correction of static unbalance is fixed at the calculated position on the rim periphery, and a balance weight of a magnitude correspondi…
