Wheel balancing ensures that your tires will spin vibration-free. Irregularities and imperfections in the manufacturing of both wheels and tires can result in heavy spots. Balancing your wheels minimizes the potential vibration caused by those imperfections generally felt in the steering wheel, seat, or floorboard. Wheel balancing is accomplished by placing measured weights opposite the "heavy spot." We recommend having your tires and wheels balanced when first installed, or when there is evidence of balance-related tire wear. Vibration-free tires enhance ride control and performance and extend the overall life of a set of tires. From a safety standpoint, unbalanced tires can cause excessive vibration at high speeds reducing handling and control which may lead to an accident.
