What is balance tyres?

Balancing removes small weight differences in your wheels so they spin smoothly without vibration.

Every tyre and wheel has slight weight imbalances. Using a balancing machine, the technician spins each wheel and fits small weights to even it out. Balanced wheels reduce steering wheel shake, protect suspension parts and help tyres wear evenly.

Signs you need it

  • The steering wheel vibrates at highway speeds
  • New tyres have been fitted
  • A wheel weight has fallen off
  • Tyres are wearing unevenly

How it works

  1. Remove each wheel
  2. Spin it on a balancing machine
  3. Fit weights where needed
  4. Refit and torque the wheels

This service is carried out at a workshop.
