Selling tires is our business...
Description:
The proper distribution of weight around a revolving tire and wheel assembly. Proper wheel balance ensures that the wheels, while spinning, do not have a heavy spot that can cause vibration and premature wear of tires, struts, shocks and other steering and suspension components. When combined with proper wheel alignment, balanced wheels make your car drive the way it should; smoothly and safely.
What to look out for:
The most common signs of unbalanced tires are vibration and noise problems. When driving with an out-of-balance wheel, the wheel literally bounces down the road rather than spinning smoothly. This can affect the speed, handling and mileage of your car. It is not uncommon for wheels to lose a wheel weight from time to time, sometimes a car wash, or a bad pothole, and sometimes a pothole bends a wheel and that causes new problems; so periodic balancing minimizes the impact of unbalanced wheels on your car.
