Balance Your Wheels For Smoother Driving
Wheel balance refers to the even distribution of weight around the tyre and wheel assembly, ensuring the wheel spins smoothly without causing vibration. Over time, everyday wear and tear, minor impacts with potholes or kerbs, or even tyre rotation can throw that balance off.
When this happens, it often results in vibrations felt through the steering wheel or floor, reduced ride comfort, and uneven tyre wear. It can also lead to premature strain on suspension and steering components.
At Budget Tyre Shed, digital balancing equipment is used to detect even the smallest imbalances and correct them with precision-placed weights. This helps restore smooth, consistent rotation for a safer and more comfortable driving experience.
- Ideal after new tyres or tyre rotation
- Accurate digital balancing for all vehicles
- Fast turnaround with experienced technicians
Regular wheel balancing is a simple, affordable service that can extend the life of your tyres, reduce fuel use, and protect your vehicle’s long-term performance.
What are the symptoms of unbalanced wheels?
Common symptoms include vibrations through the steering wheel, especially at higher speeds, uneven or rapid tyre wear, poor fuel economy, and increased cabin noise. The vibration may become more noticeable the faster you go and can affect both front and rear wheels. In severe cases, you might also notice a slight wobble. If you’ve recently hit a pothole or changed tyres and feel a difference in handling, it’s a good idea to have your wheel balance checked.
How often should I get my wheels balanced?
It’s recommended to have your wheel balance checked every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or whenever you replace, rotate, or repair your tyres. If you feel any of the symptoms listed above, don't wait—imbalanced wheels can damage tyres and suspension components over time. Even if you don't notice immediate issues, regular balancing as part of routine tyre maintenance helps maintain smooth and safe driving conditions.
Is wheel balancing the same as wheel alignment?
No, these are two different services. Wheel balance deals with the even distribution of weight around each wheel and tyre assembly, while wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of your wheels to ensure they’re parallel and pointing correctly. Balancing prevents vibration and uneven tyre wear, while alignment ensures proper handling and road contact. Both services are important, and they often go hand-in-hand during tyre maintenance.
