Why do you need weights?
Weights are added to a tire to counteract the tire and wheel unbalance. The worse the disturbance is, the more weights are needed to counteract it.
Can you put too many weights on your tires?
Yes, AutoScope recommends no more than three ounces in weights for each tire.
Why would you need more than three ounces?
Too Many Weights installed on a wheel to correct an imbalance usually indicates a more serious problem.
If you have to put more than three ounces of weights on your tires to try and balance them out you may have an underlying problem such as a bent rim or even water inside your tire. Both problems will lead to an uneven ride.
