Is wheel balancing necessary after changing tires?
1 Answers
Wheel balancing is required after changing tires. A wheel consists of two parts: the tire and the rim. Due to manufacturing processes, the mass distribution of each part cannot be completely uniform. When the car is driven at high speeds, the rapid rotation of the wheels can create dynamic imbalance, causing body and steering wheel vibrations. The following are the functions of car tires: 1. Tires serve as the medium for transmitting forces between the vehicle and the road surface, transferring driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., thereby enabling the car's driving, braking, and steering operations. 2. Supporting the vehicle load. The vehicle's load causes the tire to sink until the average pressure on the tire's contact area balances with the internal inflation pressure. 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impact forces during driving, preventing early damage to car components caused by severe vibrations. At the same time, they adapt to the vehicle's high-speed driving conditions, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, comfort, handling stability, and fuel economy.
