Wheel & Tyre weights!

1kg off the unsprung rotating mass is the equivalent of 5kg from the sprung static weight of the car.

That equates to 4.6kg a corner or 18.4kg for the car. Multiply this by 5 and the effect on the car is like removing 92kg from the sprung static weight.

I'm sceptical... where does this come from?

Hit two more massive potholes today. They are popping up (or down) everywhere. The rain has not helped. No damage. Will my luck last?
