Abstract:
Particular embodiments of the invention comprises a composition for reducing weight imbalances, force variations, and/or vibrations in a tire-wheel assembly, the composition comprising a first plurality of particulate for positioning within the tire-wheel assembly, where each particle in the first plurality of particulate is characterized as having low energy absorption capabilities, and a second plurality of particulate for positioning within the tire-wheel assembly, where each particle in the second plurality of particulate is characterized as having elevated energy absorption capabilities. Additional embodiments of the invention comprise a method for reducing force imbalances, force variations, and/or vibrations in a tire-wheel assembly, which includes the steps of providing a tire-wheel assembly and placing into a pressurization chamber of said tire-wheel assembly a composition as contemplated in any embodiment or combination of embodiments suggested herein.
