How Do Tires Become Unbalanced?
Tires become unbalanced due to an uneven distribution of mass across the wheel assembly, caused by manufacturing variations, uneven tread wear, lost wheel weights, or physical damage. As the tire spins, even a weight variance of 0.25 ounces (7 grams) generates asymmetric centrifugal force, resulting in severe vehicle vibration at highway speeds. At a Glance […]
