| Technically, the definition of balance is the uniform
distribution of mass about an axis of rotation, with the center of
gravity being in the same location as the center of rotation. The
definition of a balanced tire is one where the mass of the tire,
when mounted on it’s wheel and the car's axle, is uniformly
distributed around the axle (it’s center of rotation). Balanced
tires can mean the difference between a positive and negative
driving experience. In high performance vehicles drivers are more
sensitive to imbalanced tires, but they can be a problem for any
driver in any car. |
