What may be the effect of not balancing the wheels of the vehicle?
aBlocking of the road wheels.
bIncreased tyre life.
cUneven tread wear.
Why?
An unbalanced wheel produces vibration as it rotates, which can cause uneven tread wear. The metal weight visible on the rim is used to balance the wheel, but its presence does not prove that the wheel is unbalanced. Imbalance does not lock the wheel and can shorten tyre life rather than extend it.
