Abstract
A method for correcting dynamic unbalance of a pneumatic tire which comprises adhering a counter weight to an inner surface of the tire to reduce dynamic unbalance of the tire, wherein the counter weight is made of a material having a specific gravity in a range of from 0.016 to 0.21 such as a strip of a spongy material.
