What causes a wheel imbalance?
Nearly every wheel and tire will have some type of imbalance or imperfection caused by normal wear and tear. Any small imbalance, even less than 1oz, can compromise the exact center and cause uneven rotation and vibration.
Why is it important to balance your wheels and tires?
When a wheel is not perfectly balanced with an equal weight distribution on all sides, the vibrations can make steering and braking more difficult.
Additionally, unbalanced wheels can decrease your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and shorten the life of your tires.
Don’t comprise your safety or your pocketbook! Unbalanced wheels and tires can cause:
- Decreased steering sensitivity
- Increased vehicle sway and drifting
- Increased braking distance
- Decreased life of suspension systems and tires
- Decreased fuel mileage
- Decreased comfort
When should you get your tires balanced?
Waiting until you notice a problem can cost you more in the long run. Most manufacturers recommend balancing your tires every 6,000 miles. Add a tire balance service to your next oil change and keep your vehicle moving safely and comfortably for miles to come!
