About Wheel Balancing

Often confused with wheel alignment, a wheel can get thrown out of balance with an imperfection in the rubber or when there is damage to the tire or rim.

You might need wheel balancing if your vehicle feels like it’s wobbling while driving. You may hear it and feel it in the steering wheel, too.

Fixing this issue is accomplished by placing measured lead weights on the opposite side of the heavy spot – the noticeable tread wear on your unbalanced tire.

Signs Your Wheels Might Be Unbalanced

Your vehicle’s wheels might be unbalanced if you notice…
  • Excessive vibration in the steering wheel at certain speeds (around 50 – 70 MPH)
  • Excessive vibration in the seat or floorboard of your vehicle at certain speeds (around 50 – 70 MPH)
  • Unusual wear patterns on the tires

Importance of Getting Your Wheels Balanced

Driving with unbalanced wheels is not an enjoyable ride. Getting your wheels balanced can result in a better ride, reduced tire wear and enhanced drive-train components.
