Best Answer

any tire if hanged free from it's middle point in it's geometric centre freely it will show that there is a side of it a little bit heavier sometimes not always even with a brand new tire ,to solve this uneven balance we have to put a counter balance in the opposite point to the heavier one ,this is a static balance. When you rotate the tire with a fixed speed the unbalance will cause the tire to be shaking so we have to put a counter weight opposite to the extra weight which causes the unbalance ( this is called dynamic balance and should be done using a balancing machine.
