TYRE BALANCING
Tyre balancing is an essential service that ensures your vehicle’s tyres and wheels rotate smoothly and evenly.
Tyre balancing involves adjusting the weight distribution of a tyre and wheel assembly so that it spins evenly at high speeds. When tyres are balanced, small weights are attached to the wheel to compensate for any imbalances.
WHY IS TYRE BALANCING IMPORTANT
SMOOTH RIDE
Unbalanced tyres can cause vibrations leading
to an uncomfortable driving.
EVEN TYRE WEAR
Balanced tyres wear more evenly, which
prolongs the life of your tyres.
FUEL EFFICIENCY
Properly balanced tyres can improve fuel efficiency
by reducing rolling resistance.
WHEN TO GET TYRE BALANCING DONE?
When New Tyres are Installed
Always balance new tyres.
After a Repair
If you’ve had a puncture repair or any tyre
related repair, balancing is recommended.
Notice Vibration
If you feel vibrations in the steering wheel, floorboard, or seat it’s a sign that your tyres might need balancing.
Periodically
Even if you don’t notice any issues, it’s a good idea to get your tyres balanced every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
INSPECTION
Our technician will inspect
the tyres and wheels.
MOUNTING ON A BALANCER
Each wheel and tyre assembly is mounted on a balancing machine,
which spins the wheel and measures imbalances.
ADJUSMENT
Weights are added to the wheel
to correct any imbalances.
RECHECK
The technician will spin the wheel again to
ensure it’s properly balanced.
Tyre balancing is a simple yet crucial service that ensures your vehicle runs smoothly,
safely, and efficiently. Neglecting it can lead to discomfort, higher costs in repairs,
and potential safety hazards. Regular balancing should be a
part of your routine vehicle maintenance.
