Do TredWear raised white letter tire kits effect tire balance?

April 8, 2013

Nope!

We did a bit of research on this since a Ford GT customer asked some compelling questions. We know it does not effect the balance but wanted to find out why.


First, the smallest fraction of lead weight they use in tire balance is .25 oz

There are 28.3495 grams in an oz…

Most shops do not balance past .5 oz since they say the human body is not sensitive enough to feel anything less.

A single letter weighs just about a gram.  There are over 16 grams in a .5 oz weight.  So the single letter is about 16 times less weight then is even possible for the human body to feel.  or put it another way, You would have to take 16 letters and pile them all up in one spot, with none anywhere else for you to even get a hint of feeling it.

Enjoy your TredWear raised white letter tire kits –  No balancing needed- 😉

What will fit on my tire? Calculate Below!

EX: 245/45r20 -245 is the width expressed in mm -45 is the aspect ratio/height expressed as a percentage and -20 is the wheel diameter (not needed below)"

*Disclaimer The biggest customer mistake is to try and order letters that are too large. This calculator is to determine if the sizes we sell will fit your low profile tires. On larger tires a 1" to 1.5" graphic will look most appropriate. The only exception is on vintage race car tires that are very tall or large trucks.

One kit required per tire, unless specified on the product page.
