Wheel Balancing

Often confused with wheel alignments, a properly balanced wheel ensures a perfectly tuned wheel-tire combination. This is accomplished by placing measured lead weights on the opposite side of the noticeable tread wear on your unbalanced tire.

How do I know if I need my wheels balanced?

Is your vehicle vibrating at certain speeds, say, between 50 and 70 mph? If so, chances are your wheel is out of balance. One section of your tire is heavier than the other because it has endured more exposure to the friction and heat of the road. Most people are very satisfied with the difference such a simple and inexpensive procedure makes.

Look for these signs, and if you find either one, come see us:

  • Scalloped, erratic wear pattern on tires.
  • Vibration in steering wheel, seat, or floorboard at certain speeds.
  • If you need wheel balancing service in give Karsten's Tire & Auto a call today!
