Wheel Balance
Wheel Balance – Often confused with wheel alignment, a properly balanced wheel is a beautiful, perfectly tuned wheel-tire combination. This is accomplished by placing measured lead weights on the opposite side of the “heavy spot”—the noticeable tread wears on your unbalanced tire.
How do I know if I need my wheels balanced?
Is your vehicle vibrating at certain speeds, say, between 50 and 70 mph? If so, chances are your wheel balance is off. One section of your tire is heavier than the other because it’s endured more exposure to the friction and heat of the road. Come in for prompt, professional service—most people are very satisfied with the difference such a simple and inexpensive procedure makes. Also, look for these signs, and if you find either one, come see us to get your wheels balanced:
- The scalloped, erratic wear pattern on tires.
- Vibration in the steering wheel, seat, or floorboard at certain speeds.
