What is the method for tire dynamic balancing?
2 Answers
Tire dynamic balancing is performed as follows: 1. Install the tire onto the dynamic balancing machine and secure it with clamps. If there are old balancing weights on the tire, remove them first. 2. Measure the distance from the machine to the tire rim and input the corresponding value into the machine. 3. Use calipers to measure the width of the rim, then input the obtained value into the machine. 4. Read the radius of the tire rim. 5. Press the START button on the machine; the tire will begin to rotate. When the tire stops, the machine will display the tire deviation value. 6. Rotate the tire by hand. When the machine's inner side shows a full bar, add the corresponding balancing weight to the inner side of the tire. 7. After completing the inner side, continue rotating the tire by hand until the outer side shows a full bar, then add the balancing weight to the outer side. 8. Press the START button again; the tire will rotate. When it stops, the machine will display two 00 values, indicating that the dynamic balancing is complete.
I often do tire dynamic balancing myself, and the steps are actually quite simple. First, remove the tire and mount it on a dedicated balancing machine. The machine spins it quickly, and sensors detect any imbalance. The screen shows where it's lighter and requires lead weights for balancing—usually small lead strips are attached to the rim edge, sometimes on the inner side. If the imbalance is too high, the machine prompts adjustments bit by bit until the reading reaches zero, indicating perfect balance. Finally, remount the tire, and it's done. I think doing this regularly is crucial—it reduces steering wheel vibrations at high speeds, protects the suspension system, and even saves fuel. Never overlook it; it's best to balance after fitting new tires. Poor balancing leads to increased noise and accelerated wear on the inner tire edges. I recommend checking every 10,000 km—putting in a little effort to maintain your car ensures a smoother and safer drive.
