- Tires should be approximately equal in tread wear and runout must not be excessive. Tires and wheels should be in balance, and inflated to manufacturer's specifications.
- Vehicle must be at curb height with full fuel load, no passenger load, spare tire in place but no extra load in vehicle.
- Vehicle must be on level floor with suspension settled. Bounce front and rear of vehicle several times and allow it to settle to normal running height.
