A balance material is applied to the inner surface of a tire at one or
more selected locations to offset an imbalance of the tire. The balance
material is fluently applied to the inner surface at a first viscosity,
whereafter the balance material transforms to exhibit a second viscosity
that is higher than the first viscosity and remains affixed to the inner
surface of the tire at the point of application. A method of balancing a
tire comprises determining the location and amount of balance material
needed to correct an imbalance of the tire, applying the balance material
at a first viscosity, and transforming the balance material to have a
second viscosity sufficient to maintain the balance material at the
desired location.
