Tire balancing ensures weight is evenly distributed around the wheel and tire assembly.
When tires are unbalanced, drivers may feel vibration in the steering wheel or seat, especially at highway speeds.
Imbalanced tires wear unevenly and place added stress on suspension and steering components. Over time, this can lead to premature tire wear and reduced ride comfort.
Balancing is typically performed when new tires are installed, but it may also be needed if vibration develops or after hitting potholes. Small wheel weights are added to restore balance and smooth operation.
Maintaining properly balanced tires improves comfort, handling, and tire longevity.
Tire balancing works best alongside regular rotations and alignment services.
