New Hunter Road Force Tire Equipment Installed at A&B European Motors
At A&B European Motors, we’re always looking for ways to provide our customers with better diagnostics and higher quality service. That’s why we recently installed new Hunter tire service equipment, including a Hunter Road Force® Elite balancer and Hunter Maverick tire changer.
These machines allow us to provide dealer-level tire mounting and balancing for Mercedes-Benz, Sprinter vans, Porsche, and Land Rover vehicles here in Rocklin.
Why Road Force Balancing Matters
Many drivers experience steering wheel vibration or ride harshness at highway speeds. Standard tire balancing machines correct weight differences, but they cannot always detect other issues that cause vibration.
Our Hunter Road Force® Elite balancing system measures how the tire behaves under simulated road pressure. This allows our technicians to identify problems such as:
• uneven tire stiffness
• wheel runout
• tire mounting issues
• vibration at highway speeds
By diagnosing these issues more accurately, we can often correct vibration problems that traditional balancing machines miss.
Precision Tire Mounting for European Vehicles
European vehicles frequently use low-profile performance tires and large alloy wheels, which require specialized mounting equipment to avoid wheel damage.
Our Hunter Maverick tire changer allows us to safely mount and remove tires while protecting expensive wheels.
This system is ideal for vehicles such as:
