What is Wheel Balancing and Why Is It Important?
Wheel balancing makes sure your tyres rotate evenly and smoothly at all speeds. Here’s what you need to know:
- Prevents vibrations in the steering wheel at high speeds
- Reduces uneven tyre wear and saves you money long-term
- Improves fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance
- Most common after hitting potholes or fitting new tyres
- Uses digital machines to detect even small imbalances
- Adds small weights to wheels to correct the problem
- Essential for safety, especially when driving on motorways
