Is Wheel Balancing Necessary When Rotating Car Tires?

[EvelynRose]

Wheel balancing is not necessary when rotating car tires. Tire rotation involves swapping the positions of the wheels without altering the mass balance between the tires and rims. Wheel balancing is required when tires are removed from the rims, as this process can disrupt the mass balance between them. An unbalanced wheel may cause severe vibrations during high-speed rotation, which is when balancing becomes necessary. The functions of tires include: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force to enable vehicle control; 2. Supporting the vehicle load; 3. Absorbing shocks and vibrations during driving to prevent damage to automotive components from excessive vibrations.
