SmartWeight™ Balancing Technology Reduces Lead Wheel Weight Use by 35%

Bart Cavin, owner of three Goodyear Gemini stores in Maryland, recently calculated a wheel weight savings of 35.2% after putting hundreds of spins on his Hunter GSP9700 balancer equipped with the new SmartWeight™ balancing feature. Cavin also praised the balancer’s time-saving capability and ease of operation. He said his next move is to upgrade all of his Hunter GSP balancers.

Shops throughout the country are reporting significant savings in weight use and technician time when using the SmartWeight feature to achieve the optimum balance and ride quality. The SmartWeight feature can be purchased with or installed on Hunter GSP wheel balancers.
