Wheel Balancing

Wheel balancing is a process of equalizing the weight of a tire and wheel assembly so that it rotates smoothly at high speeds. When a wheel and tire are mounted on a vehicle, they can create vibration or shaking when the vehicle is driven at higher speeds. This can be caused by uneven distribution of weight around the wheel or tire, which can lead to uneven wear and tear and decreased performance.

During a wheel balancing service, a technician will use a machine to measure the imbalance of the tire and wheel assembly and then add small weights to the rim or tire to correct any imbalance. This process helps to ensure that the tire and wheel assembly rotates smoothly and evenly, improving ride quality, handling, and reducing tire wear.

It is recommended to have your wheels balanced at least once a year, or whenever you feel shaking or vibration while driving at high speeds. This can help prevent uneven tire wear, reduce stress on suspension components, and ensure a smoother and safer driving experience.
