Often confused with wheel alignment, a properly balanced wheel is a beautiful, perfectly tuned wheel-tire combination. This is accomplished by placing measured lead weights on the opposite side of the "heavy spot"—the noticeable tread wear on your unbalanced tire.

How do I know if I need my wheels balanced?

Is your vehicle vibrating at certain speeds, say, between 50 and 70 mph? If so, chances are your wheel is out of balance. One section of your tire is heavier than the other because it's endured more exposure to the friction and heat of the road. Come in for prompt, professional service—most people are very satisfied with the difference such a simple and inexpensive procedure makes. Look for these signs, and if you find either one, come see us:

  • Scalloped, erratic wear pattern on tires.
  • Vibration in steering wheel, seat, or floorboard at certain speeds.
We also advise customers to receive a rotation and computer balance on their vehicle every 5000-7500 miles on most passenger and light truck models, and every 7500-10000 miles on most dual rear wheel vehicles.

We use the latest in computerized balancing equipment to serve the smallest of tires and wheels to the largest semi and RV fitments ranging from laser analysis balancing machines to the road force machines that guarantee the smoothest ride available by measuring the amount of "force" on the tires footprint .
