The Basics Behind Computerized Wheel Balancing Services at Family Tire Distributors 

Professionals use computerized wheel balancers to pinpoint weight differentiation within a tire and wheel assembly. Computerized wheel balancers are highly accurate machines that identify the weight distribution problem areas within an assembly. Ideally, a tire and its wheel should complement one-another, with both maintaining an equal amount of weight throughout the assembly. In a perfect assembly, air will be even throughout the tire, and the wheel will be perfectly round in shape. However, tires and wheels are nearly never perfect. In fact, some tire manufacturers mark the lightest part of a tire so that drivers can easily match it to the heaviest part of the wheel. Both time and normal tire and wheel usage will also gradually add imbalance to a tire and wheel assembly’s weight distribution. The smallest difference in weight within an assembly can cause a great amount of damage and annoyance. A computerized wheel balancing service will return the balance of your car or truck’s wheels to factory specifications.

Why Is Wheel Balancing Important?

Balancing your wheels minimises potential vibration felt in the steering wheel, seat, or floorboard and aids in proper tire treadwear.

Getting your wheels balanced can result in:

• • A smoother ride

• • Reduced tire wear

• • Enhanced drive-train components

•  

When Should I Get My Vehicle’s Tires & Wheels Balanced?

One or more of your tire and wheel assemblies may be in need of rebalancing if:

• • You experience vibrations in your vehicle

• • You hear squeals from your tires

• • You feel your vehicle pulling in one direction
