How to Perform Dynamic Balancing for Car Tires?
2 Answers
Dynamic balancing for car tires is performed as follows: 1. Install the car tire on the dynamic balancing machine and secure it properly with clips; 2. If there are old balancing weights, remove them; 3. Measure the distance from the machine to the tire rim and input the corresponding value into the machine; 4. Enter the tire size into the machine; 5. Click the start button, the tire will begin to rotate, and after stopping, the machine will display the deviation value of the tire; 6. Add balancing weights to the tire to match the displayed value; 7. Continue testing until the machine displays two zeros (00), indicating that the dynamic balancing process is complete.
I often do tire balancing myself, which saves a lot of money compared to going to a shop. The first step is to remove the wheel and find a clean, flat place to work. It's important to clean the wheel hub surface and remove dust and dirt, otherwise the measurement won't be accurate. Then I use a wheel balancer—I bought a used one online or sometimes share tools with friends. Mount the wheel on the machine, turn it on, and it will rotate. The screen displays the imbalance weight value, and you add small weights to the inside or outside of the rim as indicated. Repeat the test a few times until the balance value is close to zero, and you're done. The whole process takes about half an hour, but after a few tries, it can save a lot of money. If you experience vibration while driving, it might be due to unbalanced tires—check and fix it promptly to avoid safety risks. I recommend doing it every time you change tires or perform repairs to keep the vehicle running smoothly.
