It&#8217;s not always the case, but since some OEM wheels don&#8217;t follow this, there are instances where you need to install many weights even after aligning the tire balance point with the wheel air valve. If you understand the wheel itself, you might figure out why the weights are needed.<br \/>\nSince there&#8217;s no way to know the tire balance point, just do it appropriately.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/DSC07167.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/DSC07167.jpg\" alt=\"DSC07167\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/03\/DSC07167.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/03\/DSC07167-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/03\/DSC07167-624x416.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a> When mounting the tire, you also need to know the tire runout.
