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.
