You are putting some bizarre bullshit into a thread which YOU made up, while slamming an entire group of people, most of whom have made no such remarks
GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!
While I agree that most of them haven't done that, those who do drive me insane. Being sworn at by a guy who retired 15 years ago over doing your job, (which you have been doing for two years), over "not knowing anything about the tire industry and that your training is bulls**t", all because I **WASNT** static (single plane) balancing his tire....
...is something else. I wanted to slap the man. And this happens so often our manager gives us special instructions on how to deal with these people.
Not saying the guy didn't know his stuff, he probably did, but he knew his stuff about tires from 15 years ago. I'd been doing that job for over two years at that point, in the modern era, well educated in what today's cars need out of tires. He probably is an expert at the wheels and tires on that old Chevelle in his neighbor's backyard, just not his new shiny 2023 ram pickup.
So I do understand
@bhgl 's sentiment. Because I deal with it every week it seems.
EDIT- for those of you who don't know, static or single plane balancing is almost never used anymore except for VERY specific cases authorized by my manager. Wheels and tires today are so wide that dual-plane balancing is necessary. Single plane will eliminate "hop" type imbalances, but not "wobble" type imbalances, both of which will be felt at highway speeds in any modern vehicle.
