Tire balancing

Tire balancing – is the process of equalizing the weight of the tire and wheel to avoid uneven tire wear and excessive wear on the car's suspension. During tire balancing, weight counterweights are installed on the wheel rims in order to eliminate uneven mass distribution and avoid vibrations when the car is moving. This helps to ensure a smooth ride, increases comfort and safety on the road, as well as the service life of the tires.

Wheel balancing is an important procedure to avoid vibrations, preserve tires, preserve suspension, and increase safety. Uneven distribution of mass in the wheel can lead to vibrations when driving, especially at high speeds. Balancing helps eliminate these vibrations, providing a smooth ride and comfort for the driver and passengers. Uneven tire wear can result from improper balancing. This can lead to rapid and unpredictable tire wear, which can reduce tire life and safety. Inconsistency in the weight distribution of the wheel can create an excessive load on the car's suspension. This can lead to poor suspension performance and an increased risk of breakdowns. Properly balanced wheels help maintain control of the car, especially at high speeds and in bad weather. They reduce the risk of loss of control due to vibrations or instability.

If the wheels are not properly balanced, this can lead to:

• Violation of driving comfort due to strong vibration of the body. Unevenness in the weight distribution of the wheels can lead to vibrations that are felt in the body of the car. This can make the trip less comfortable for you and the passengers.
• Deterioration of stability and controllability of the car, incorrectly balanced wheels can lead to an uneven load on the suspension, which can worsen the stability and controllability of the car. This can make the car less stable on the road, especially at high speeds or in bad weather.
• Uneven tire wear can occur due to improper wheel balancing. This can lead to premature wear of tires and other elements of the vehicle chassis, which will increase maintenance costs and reduce road safety.

When wheel balancing is needed

Wheel balancing is recommended in the following cases:

• Every time you change tires or wheels, it is recommended that you also balance them. New tires can have small differences in mass, which can lead to unbalanced vibration when driving.
• If you notice vibrations in the steering wheel, seat or floor while driving, this may indicate unbalanced wheels.
• If you notice uneven or abnormal tire wear, this could be a sign of unbalanced wheels.
• During scheduled vehicle maintenance, it is recommended to also check the balance of the wheels, even if there are no noticeable problems with vibrations.
• If you have been in an accident or hit an obstacle on the road, you may need to check the balance of the wheels.

Signs of wheel imbalance cannot be ignored. The first and, perhaps, the most noticeable sign is the steering wheel beating. If you feel that the steering wheel starts to vibrate a little or even feel strong jolts when driving at a speed of more than 100 km/h, this may be a sign of unbalanced wheels. The second sign is uneven tire tread wear. If you notice that one part of the tread wears faster than the other, this may indicate a balancing problem. The third sign is a "floating" sound when the wheel is rolling. If you hear a strange sound that accompanies you while driving, it could be the result of unbalanced wheels.

For the appearance of these signs, it is better not to delay the visit to the tire fitting. No amount of balancing will eliminate vibrations while driving if the degree of uneven tread wear is very high and the wheel rim is bent. If the tire has lost its shape due to a strong impact, it must be replaced. Failure to respond to these signs can lead to further deterioration of the condition of the wheels, as well as increase the risk of accidents on the road.
