Does tire pressure affect the balancing of a tire?
Actually, if you check your tire pressure regularly, you'll find that the pressure only changes by +/- 2 PSI as a result of normal driving. This will not affect tire balance. However, if you experience more severe pressure changes (10 PSI or more), this changes the shape of the tire slightly and alters the cetrifugal force. This can have a pretty dramatic effect on the balance since the centrifugal force is proportional to the square of the rotational speed. When you have your tires balanced, the pressure should be set to the nominal pressure recommended for your vehicle (may be different for front and rear) before you balance the tires.
