Abstract
A method for balancing a wheel comprises at least the steps of extruding a profile of an uncured and/or non-vulcanized viscoelastic polymer comprising at least one filler having a total density of more than 0.9 kg/dm3, cutting a section from an extruded profile of said polymer, wherein the length of the section correlates with the required mass for balancing, applying the balancing weight to the rim of the wheel, and curing of the balancing weight at the wheel.

Method for balancing a wheel, comprising the steps of:
- extruding a profile of a mixture of viscoelastic polymer and at least one filler, the mixture having a total density of more than 0.9 kg/dm3, the viscoelastic polymer being uncured and non-vulcanized;
- cutting a section from the extruded profile of said mixture, wherein the length of the section correlates with a desired mass for balancing;
- applying the section as a balancing weight to a rim of a wheel, and
- curing the section on the wheel.
