File Tireweight Zn 660.jpg thumb Zinc tire weight Tire balance , also referred to as tire unbalance or imbalance, describes the distribution of mass within an automobile tire or the wheel to which it is attached. When the tire rotates, asymmetries of mass cause the wheel to wobble, which can cause ride disturbances, usually vertical and lateral vibrations. It can also result in a wobbling of the steering. The ride disturbance due to unbalance usually increases with speed. Vehicle suspensions can be excited by tire unbalance forces when the speed of the wheel reaches a point that its rotating frequency equals the suspension s resonant frequency. Tires are inspected in factories and repair shops by two methods static balancers and dynamic balancers. Tires with high unbalance forces are downgraded or rejected.

It was directed and produced by twin brothers Wolfgang Lauenstein Wolfgang and Christoph Lauenstein . The film depicts five individuals living on a small platform floating in space. Whenever one of them moves, the others must do so as well to ensure that the platform does not tip over. The group works cooperatively to maintain a balance until one individual pulls a box onto the platform. Since all are curious as to what the box is, the individuals try to inspect the box and their actions disrupt the balance of the platform, and those on it. All but one of the individuals is pushed or falls off the edges of the platform. In the end, the lone individual must maintain a balance with the box, which is well out of reach. Balance won the Academy Award for Animated Short Film Academy Award for Best Animated Short of 1989.
