minus-squaresnooggums@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoThey are used to balance tires, but only one or a few in the right locations.
minus-squareshadeless@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoHaha no, wheels and tires can’t be produced balanced consistently. So after the tire is put on the wheel, you put those weights on to balance them.
minus-squareirkli@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoNo, they are used to balance wheels and tires that are out of balance. When a new tire is mounted on a wheel, it has to be balanced on a machine that spins it, locates the light side, operator adds weights to make it balance.
