Abstract:
A tire/wheel assembly assembling method in which a tire and a wheel are assembled together,said tire/wheel assembly assembling method being comprised of a balance weight determination step, in which the weight and attachment position of a balance weight to be attached to said wheel are determined on the assumption that a minimum point of the radial runout of said wheel will be phase matched with a maximum point of the radial force variation of said tire and based on the weight and position of a heavy point of a static unbalance of said wheel and the weight and position of a light point of the static unbalance of said tire, a balance weight attachment step, in which the balance weight of the weight determined in said balance weight determination step is attached to the attachment position of said wheel that was determined in the balance weight determination step, and an assembling step, in which said wheel and said tire are assembled together upon phase matching the minimum point of the radial runout of said wheel and the maximum point of the radial force variation of said tire.
