have you ever heard of people getting "mounting and balance", well thats what you got. the wheels are weighted so that they have proper rotation and proper weight. if they didnt have the same weight, then you would feel vibrations in the steering wheel. it makes your ride smooth and "balanced".

no no no.... go ahead and take of those weights.... then, when yourr car shakes itself to pieces, you can pay someone to put them back on for you... then you can pay them even more to re-allign your car.

Why do you even own a car if you didnt know that? Jeez..I thought that was common knowledge.

Yes, leave them on........it balances the tires on the wheel..

Check your muffler bearings and blinker fluid while you're at it.
