What are Tire Valves and Where Do We Need to Use Them?

Tire valves are essential components of any vehicle's tire system, playing a crucial role in maintaining proper tire pressure and ensuring safe driving conditions.

What Is the Problem With Lead Wheel Balancing?

Aug 24,2025

Lead wheel weights are used worldwide to balance vehicle tires. An estimated 64 million kg/year (70,000 ton/year) of lead is used worldwide in the manufacture of wheel weights. Automobile and light truck wheel weights vary in size and weight, ranging between 5-150 mm (0.2-6 in) in length and 7-113 grams (0.25-4oz) in weight. A typical vehicle contains between 200 and 250 grams of lead in wheel weights. This amounts to 10-12.5% of vehicle lead use, excluding the lead-acid battery. Recent studies have shown that lead deposition from lead wheel weights is a significant and previously not quantified source of lead being releases to the environment. The majority of wheel weights currently in use are clip-on types that are attached at the edge (horn) of a wheel's rim; however some new aluminum rims require adhesive weights due to their shape.
