Does Every wheel have to have a weight?
I noticed that I do not have a wheel weight on my front right rim. Should I be worried?
BTW, I did not hit anything and no one else has driven my car so maybe it was like that since my last service?
Thanks

It's possible that when they balanced that wheel/tire, it did not require any counterbalancing weights. Look on the rim and see if you see a mark where the weight might have been.
Have you had your tires rotated/balanced lately?

There is a yellow dot on your tire....that is a point when lined up with the valve stem? or some other point...the tire is balanced without wheel weights. This is very rare as it requires someone to mount the tire VERY carefully and that takes time....so, unless you have a friend who mounts tires and is willing to spend close to an hour to line it up....it won't happen very often.
