Abstract
A tire/wheel assembly assembling method, including a balance weight determination step, in which the weight and attachment position of a balance weight to be attached to a wheel are determined on the assumption that the minimum point of the RRO of the wheel will be phase matched with the maximum point of the RFV of a tire and based on the weight and position of the heavy point of the static unbalance of the wheel and the weight and position of the light point of the static unbalance of the tire, a balance weight attachment step, in which the balance weight is attached to the wheel based on the determined weight and attachment position, and an assembling step, in which the wheel and the tire are assembled together upon phase matching the minimum point of the RRO of the wheel with the maximum point of the RFV of the tire.
