Just knowing the relative proportions between wheels can be enough sometimes for a quick check.

Using electronic 4 wheel scales though, (as they do at SVA, and as Tony did) does both at once, and accurately.

I would have thought that someone with as broad a reach of knowledge as Ricky usually claims might have known that, though.
thanks Wilf, thats is what i didnt understand.:thumb:
