- Do not use more than two balance weights on the inner or outer side of the wheel.
- One balance weight; max. 60 g (2.1 oz).
- If the total weight exceeds 85 g (3.0 oz) on one side, rebalance after moving the tire around on the rim.
- Attach the balance weights tightly to the wheel.
- Select suitable balance weights for steel or aluminum alloy wheels.
- Do not use an on-car balancer on automatic transmission models; it may cause transmission damage.
