    Bridgestone Makati. Oddly, what's hard to find in the capital is the Hunter RoadForce Balancing. Any luck in your neckodawoods, sir?

    This is awesome bro! Really impresssed with my ride now. Ill ask my bro to go there��

    Not sure if the Michelin tyre center had that wheel balancer. Ill check when I pass by.

    I was looking at tireshakk and dunlop and servitek and S&R but cant verify if they have Hunter.

    Was initially a skeptic of Hunter's RoadForce Balancing til it took out, on the 1st try, a stubborn slight shimmy repeated regular balancing couldn't solve. Have had instances where it dictated matched-mounted tires to be remounted yielding minimal to zero balancing weights.
    Having tried RoadForce, I'd never go back to regular balancing.[emoji4]

    Not just that, if runout is way off, it'll dictate how to re-match mount the tire w/ specific pointers or refuse to balance it & advise wheel/tire change. Amazing!!!
    A friend's lifted Hilux w/ upsized mud tires, after countless visits to suspension & tire shops, had a shimmy at certain speeds that refused to go away. Pointed him to the lone RoadForce local to us...He's now like me...ex-Saul....a believer.[emoji4]

    the most important thing when going for wheel alignment is to ask around if the technician is well versed with his machine and not a newbie.

    Tools and machines don't fix cars, they're tools to make the technician do his job right.

    How often should we have to check for our alignments?

    When steering veers to one side.

    You can check your front tires, parked and steered all the way to one side, you can compare the tread pattern and wear.

    Ask the technicians if there is a selection specific to your car. There should be. If they say “civic/corolla din yan sir, pareho din yan” walk away. Each car has its own specific alignment specifications. The specifications are listed in your manual.

    The yearly alignment equipment data updates are aound US $500. So, obviously, not all shops do that annually. Among those local to me, the one w/ the most complete is about 3hrs away. I still go there. Good reason to drive.[emoji4]

    Aside from Goodyear TImog, meron na po bang ibang alignment shops with Roadforce balancing? Yung Bridgestone na pinupuntahan ko sa Marikina G.Fernando wala pa eh.

    I'd call shops right away if I know where to start.

    Majority of Goodyear shops have hunter alignment systems. hindi ko lng alam if they have roadforce wheel balancers.

    Travajante knows one shop thats got the hunter roadforce.
