Radial Run-Out is measured by placing a run-out gauge against a smooth section of the tread near the center of the tire and then rotating the wheel and tire by hand through one complete revolution.
How do you measure lateral and radial runout?
While radial runout is measured at the circumference, perpendicular to the axle, lateral runout can be measured at the tire sidewall and wheel rim face. If excessive lateral runout is measured, suspect a bent wheel that likely is distorted at the wheel center area.Jan 1, 2003
What is radial runout?
Radial runout is when the axis of rotation is off-center from the main axis, but still parallel. Axial runout is when the axis of rotation is tilted to some degree from the main axis, meaning the axis of rotation is no longer parallel to the main axis.

What causes radial runout?
Radial runout occurs when the tire radius is not consistent from the midpoint of the wheel to any point on the rim. This type of runout creates a “hop” or “bounce” in your wheel rotation. Lateral wheel runout refers to how much a wheel or tire “wobbles” as it rotates.Feb 21, 2019

What can radial runout cause?
Radial runout involves distance discrepancies from one point to another. The greater this discrepancy, the more it will cause the wheel to bounce up and down as it rotates. This bouncing causes the vibrations that often travel up through the steering column, becoming noticeable inside of the car.May 15, 2018
Can you fix a tire that is out of round?
Usually you can NOT fix an out of round tire. ... Having imbalanced tires can also cause more excessive tire wear. Due to excessive tire wear, you can cause a tire to become out of balance. Road force balancing will help a tire that is out of round or has excessive tire run out.
What is the maximum radial runout allowed for a tire?
.125 inches
How do you check for lateral and radial runout of the wheels and tires?
Use a tire run-out gauge or dial indicator to check radial and lateral run-out. Check the radial run-out of the rotating tire-wheel assembly at the center of the tread, preferably on a smooth rib. Check the lateral run-out in the center of the sidewall.
