Instructions for the Snap-On WB200
If your tires shimmy or wobble, it may time to have them balanced. Machines known as tire balancers are used to test the tire. The tire-balancing machine will also indicate how much weight is needed and where it needs to be placed during diagnosis. The Snap-On WB200 is a popular brand of tire balancer. Although these machines are generally used in tire shops, they can be purchased for home use.
