Signs Your Car Actually Needs Wheel Balancing
A steering wheel that vibrates at highway speed, or a car that seems to pull slightly to one side, often gets blamed on alignment when the actual cause is wheel balancing that wasn’t done properly, or wasn’t done at all. Car Tyres and You checks for this specifically rather than assuming alignment is always the culprit.
What Poor Wheel Balancing Actually Causes
Uneven weight distribution around a tyre and wheel assembly causes vibration that gets worse as speed increases, along with uneven tread wear that shows up gradually rather than all at once. Wheel balancing corrects that by adding small weights to counter uneven spots in the assembly, restoring smooth rotation.
- Vibration at highway speed checked and corrected
- Uneven tyre wear patterns assessed alongside balancing
- Included as standard with every tyre fitting
- Available as a standalone service for existing tyres
Why Balancing Gets Missed After a Repair
A puncture repair or a wheel removed for other work can throw balancing off even when the tyre itself is fine, which is why it’s worth checking after any job that involves taking a wheel off, not just after buying new tyres.
