Summary:

"Smooth road shake" complaints resulting from tire and wheel nonuniformities have been greatly reduced on original equipment tires. However, the problem still exists on after-market tires that have not been ground.The On-Car Tire Grinder (OCG) was developed by General Motors Research to provide a means for correcting smooth road shake complaints in the field. The device effectively duplicates the grinding done on original equipment tires. It has a low initial cost, does not require removing the tire from the car, and has proved practical for service use.Several companies have been given a free license to manufacture the On-Car Grinder for sale to tire stores and automobile dealers
