How do I know my tires need balancing?
The most common sign is a vibration in the steering wheel, seat or floor that shows up at a certain speed, often on the highway.
Tires should also be balanced whenever they are mounted on a wheel, and after a tire repair.
What is Road Force balancing?
A Road Force balancer presses a roller against the tire while it spins, to simulate the weight of the car on the road. That finds vibrations a regular balancer can miss, such as a tire or wheel that isn’t perfectly round.
It is especially useful when a car still shakes after a regular balance.
Is balancing the same as an alignment?
No. Balancing evens out the weight around the tire and wheel so it spins smoothly. An alignment sets the angles of the wheels so the car drives straight.
A shake at speed usually points to balance. A car that pulls to one side usually points to alignment.
