Tire & Wheel Balancing
Tire balancing, also referred to as wheel balancing, is a crucial automotive maintenance procedure that ensures your vehicle’s wheels spin without causing any vibrations. This process is essential for maintaining an even distribution of weight across all your vehicle’s tires and is particularly significant for residents in Whittier, where road conditions can be harsh. Imbalanced tires can lead to steering wheel vibration, a common symptom that drivers experience when the weight distribution on the wheel-tire combination is not even.
What Happens During a Tire Balance Service?
A proper balance ensure a smoothe, vibration free ride
When you go in for a tire balance service, technicians use specialized equipment to identify heavier areas of the tire that cause imbalance. Small weights are then carefully attached to the wheel’s rim to counterbalance these inconsistencies. Achieving a proper tire balance means your vehicle will have a smoother ride, less tire wear, and decreased stress on the vehicle’s suspension components.
Why Should I get my Tires and Wheels Balanced?
Residents in Whittier and local areas will find that regular wheel balancing can greatly improve their driving experience. Not only does it prevent steering wheel vibration, but it also contributes to better fuel efficiency and prolonged tire life. For safe and comfortable driving, it is recommended to have your tire and wheel balance checked with every tire rotation, typically every 5,000 to 6,000 miles.
