A device, often found online, assists users in determining the correct quantity of small spheres, usually ceramic or steel, to insert into a tire for the purpose of dynamic balancing. These devices typically require the user to input tire size information, such as diameter and width, to produce a weight recommendation. The calculated weight is then used to select the appropriate amount of balancing media.
Employing internal balancing media offers several potential advantages, including reduced vibration, extended tire life, and improved fuel economy. Historically, dynamic balancing has been achieved using external weights attached to the wheel rim. However, internal media adapts to changing tire conditions and wear patterns, providing a continuous and self-adjusting balancing effect. This method can be particularly useful for large tires, such as those found on commercial vehicles and off-road equipment, where traditional balancing methods may be less effective or practical.
