It’s important to address wheels that are not correctly balanced to ensure you receive the best ride comfort. Incorrectly balanced wheels produce a vibration that is felt through the steering wheel when travelling above a certain speed that can cause considerable discomfort over time. What’s more, balance issues can cause premature wearing of your tyres, suspension and steering components.

We recommend a wheel balancing is carried out on a vehicle every year in order to ensure weight is equally distributed around the wheel and that the tyre rotates evenly. Wheel balancing involves adding small counter weights to the rim which then even out any inconsistencies. So, if an imbalance towards one side of the wheel is identified, wheel weights are added to the opposite side to even out the distribution of weight.
