It sits on the ground. They jack the truck up and it spins the tire at high speed. Tire recappers have true shaver machines that can do 30.5-25s. Large enough to put the little 395s inside of the tire and bounce it around.
It's done often on dump and cement trucks that the outside edge of the...
Has a 80lb runflat in it. On an aluminum wheel. So it actually nearly the same weight as an LMTV wheel with a 395
