Is Wheel Balancing Necessary When Replacing New Tires?
1 Answers
Wheel balancing is necessary when replacing new tires, as prolonged use may cause the balancing weights to fall off, resulting in an imbalance in the tire's weight distribution. To check, lift the tire off the ground and spin it at high speed. Observe whether the tire comes to rest in the same spot or at a diagonal position. If the tire stops randomly in any direction, balancing is not required. However, if it consistently stops in the same spot, wheel balancing is needed. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery, typically installed on metal rims. They support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road, and ensure driving performance.
