Is it serious if the tire balancing weight falls off?
1 Answers
Tire balancing weight falling off consequences introduction: If the tire balancing weight falls off, it will cause uneven tire wear, and in severe cases, it may even damage the suspension system; if the balancing weight falls off, it needs to be reinstalled. The correct method for attaching tire balancing weights is to select the appropriate balancing weight according to the grams indicated by the balancing machine, rotate the tire, and when the balancing machine's indicator turns completely red or reaches the center, attach or hammer the balancing weight at the 12 o'clock position of the tire. Below is an introduction to balancing weights: 1. Due to the complexity of road conditions, any situation on the road may affect the tire and steel rim, such as hitting a curb or driving at high speed over potholes, which can easily cause deformation of the steel rim. Therefore, it is recommended that you perform tire dynamic balancing when rotating the tires; 2. The uneven mass distribution of car wheels, during high-speed driving, not only affects ride comfort but also increases abnormal wear of the car's tires and suspension system, making it more difficult to control the car while driving and leading to unsafe driving conditions; 3. To avoid this situation, wheels must undergo dynamic balancing testing with specialized equipment—a wheel dynamic balancing machine—before installation. Appropriate counterweights are added to the lighter parts of the wheel to maintain dynamic balance during high-speed rotation. These counterweights are the wheel balancing weights.
