Is Wheel Balancing Necessary After Replacing Rear Tires?

Wheel balancing is necessary after tire replacement for the following reasons: 1. Generally, it is essential to perform wheel balancing whenever the tire system is replaced or repaired, as prolonged use may lead to imbalance due to the detachment of balancing weights. 2. Any operation that alters the mass distribution of any part of the wheel requires wheel balancing. 3. A car's wheel consists of two parts: the tire and the rim. However, due to various factors, the mass distribution of this assembly cannot be perfectly uniform. If new tires are installed without balancing, an unbalanced state may occur during high-speed driving, posing a risk to driving safety.
