What are the functions of tire balancing weights?
1 Answers
Tire balancing weights serve the following purposes: 1. Maintain dynamic balance of wheels during high-speed rotation; 2. Extend tire service life and ensure normal vehicle performance; 3. Reduce wear on vehicle suspension systems; 4. Minimize component wear caused by wheel imbalance during driving. Also known as wheel weights, these are counterweight components installed on wheels that reduce vibration amplitude during high-speed rotation by minimizing mass differences between tires. Installation methods vary based on rim material: 1. For steel rims, simply hammer the weights directly onto the rim; 2. For aluminum alloy rims, double-sided adhesive tape is required for attachment.
