Wheel Balancing
Wheel balancing is the process of equalising the weight distribution around a wheel and tyre assembly. Unbalanced wheels cause vibrations, uneven tyre wear, and additional stress on suspension components. During balancing, small weights are attached to the rim to counteract any heavy spots. Wheels should be balanced every time a new tyre is fitted and whenever vibrations are felt at speed.
