Abstract
A weight tape for modifying unbalance of a tire wheel, which is used by cutting precisely into a length having desired weight. The weight tape comprises a tape-like base portion having a relatively thin thickness and a constant width and suitably made of a high specific gravity material such as lead, and a heat resistant adhesive portion on the rear surface of the base portion, wherein a basic scale and a subsidiary scale indicating a certain weight are marked on the base portion. The tape may be provided in a shape of an oblong object, or a wound object wherein a separable material is attached on the adhesive portion. The weight tape is used in a shape of a weight piece which is cut from the weight tape to have a desired weight by using the basic scale and the subsidiary scale.
