On the eve of the seasonal “refogging” of tires, the editors of the AvtoVzglyad portal regularly receive questions from readers: is it necessary to carry out wheel balancing
For those not into the topic, we remember: balancing is the process of combining the center of gravity of the wheel with the axis of rotation. To help – special installation weights that create the necessary balance of both sides of the disk. As a result, rudder deflections, inaccurate steering responses, knocking of the “steering wheel”, bumps in the rims and even the suspension on the road are excluded. Unless, of course, the reason lies precisely in the imbalance.
It happens that this happens for other reasons. For example, if the disc is damaged, for example in a collision with a pit, but also due to an unadjusted wheel alignment or problems with the suspension, especially the wheel bearing. Balancing will not help here – welcome to the specialized technical center.
Experts recommend wheel balancing every 10,000 kilometers. Taxi drivers who constantly drive cars in different conditions do such an operation even more often. Those who have seasonal tires and wheels in the kit do not need to balance the wheels when changing shoes for the season. If, again, you do not observe the above signs while driving.
Separately, the correct storage conditions for a set of wheels should be noted. Ideally, the discs “shod” in “rubber” would be in a dry room in a suspended state. If this does not work, it is best to fold the wheels together. Under no circumstances should they be installed vertically, as the tire pressure may drop and the frame may deform.
But the “rubber” without “rollers” just needs to be held upright. This storage method is the only correct one. If you need to put summer and winter tires on the same wheels, the wheel balancing procedure is considered mandatory. A new tire, already in the first kilometers of driving, can change its position on the rim, thereby violating the necessary balance. Therefore, saving on weights is still not recommended.
