Changes in the distribution of weight around the wheel and tire assembly occur from everyday tire tread wear. The possible vibration in the floorboard, seat, or steering wheel can be minimized by balancing your tire and wheel assembly, which will also help with the proper tread wear of your tires. The advantages of having your tire and wheel assembly balanced include reduced tire wear, enhanced drive train components and a smoother ride.

Our tires at ProTech tire installation services will usually maintain their balance and only go out of balance gradually. We employ ASE certified automotive technicians who can help you determine if your tires require balancing based on mileage or wear. We recommends that you have your wheels balanced between every 3,000 and 6,000 miles. However, your tire and wheel assembly might need balancing if you are experiencing any symptoms that your tire and wheel assembly are out of balancing such as:

In order to isolate the weight differentiation within the wheel and tire assembly, our ASE certified automotive technicians use wheel balancers that are computerized. These computerized wheel balancers are extremely accurate that will identify the weight distribution problem areas within a wheel and tire assembly.

In a perfect world, a wheel and its tire should complement each another, so that both maintain an equal amount of weight throughout the assembly. In the ideal wheel and tire assembly, the air pressure will be distributed evenly throughout the tire, and the wheel will have a shape that is perfectly round. However, wheels and tires are almost never perfect. The fact is that some manufacturers of tires mark the lightest part of a tire in order for drivers to easily match it to the heaviest part of the wheel. Both normal wheel and tire wear as well as time will also eventually add imbalance to a wheel and tire assemblyís distribution of weight. A great amount of annoyance and damage can be attributed to even the smallest difference in weight within a wheel and tire assembly. A computerized wheel balancing service will return the balance of your vehicle to its manufacturerís specifications.
