Balance
Tyre balance must be checked if the steering wheel vibrates or if there is unwanted vibration or noise in the car. Learn about the importance of tyre balance, which is necessary for a smooth driving experience, when you need to go and inspect your tyres and how to take precautionary measures.
The Importance of Tyre Balance
Tyre balance is a process of compensating for the weight of the tyre and wheel after assembly. If not properly balanced you will experience increased vibration and additional stress on your vehicle.
When to Check for Tyre Balance
If you experience a feeling of one area being heavier or lighter than the rest, visit a mechanic where they will attach a balancing weight to the exterior or interior of the wheel to counteract centrifugal forces acting on the heavy areas when the wheel is turning.
How to Achieve Tyre Balance
To balance the tyre and wheel assembly, a balance weight can be used when a certain spot is lighter or heavier than it should be.
