"Tip the scales at" -> nghĩa là cân trọng lượng cụ thể.

Ví dụ

Katmai is home to some of the largest grizzly bears on the planet. After this year's record-breaking salmon run brought 800,000 fish up the Brooks River, the park's 2,200 bears were able to bulk up quite easily, allowing competitors like the aptly-named Chunk and Grazer to tip the scales at well over 450 kilograms.

In fact, this fish seemed a great deal larger than the five-pound previous catch. Once it was netted and in the boat, we could see why it was tougher to land. It was actually a great deal larger. This fish would definitely tip the scales at nearly ten pounds.

Tires will lose air pressure or flat-spot. Cars are heavy. Compact sedans (xe oto mui kín) weigh more than 2,500 pounds, and midsize SUVs can tip the scales at twice that. If they don’t move, all that weight rests on whatever side of the tire is in contact with the ground. So, not only has the tire begun to lose air, which happens faster during cold weather, but it gets flat spots. If you catch uneven wear early enough and add air pressure, the tires can round out again. Otherwise, you’re looking at permanent tire damage, which will create vibrations (sự rung chuyển) when driving and potentially lead to unsafe steering and handling situations.
