What is attached when changing tires?

[McGavin]

When changing tires, wheel weights are attached. During tire replacement, wheel balancing is performed. Depending on the readings from the balancing machine, different sizes of wheel weights are applied to ensure tire balance. If wheel balancing is not done, over time the tires may develop uneven wear patterns or cupping. Function of wheel weights: All objects have inherent mass variations in different parts. Under static or low-speed rotation, this mass imbalance affects rotational stability, with vibrations increasing at higher speeds. Wheel weights minimize mass discrepancies to achieve relative balance. Benefits of wheel balancing: Regular balancing checks not only extend tire lifespan but also enhance driving stability, preventing potential accidents caused by tire wobble or bouncing during high-speed driving.
