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

  • When the tyre is replaced.
  • When the balance weight falls or the position is changed.

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.
