Auto Repair Tires Service

Symptoms of unbalanced tires commonly include:

• You feel vibration in the steering wheel, the floorboard or your seat.
• You get them rotated, generally every 5,000 miles.
• At the very least every two years, once yearly if you drive rough roads.
• You get a flat and repair a tire.
• You buy any new tire(s).
• A weight that used to be on the rim falls off.
• You notice uneven tire wear.
• Uneven/faster tread wear
• Poor fuel economy

Vibration when underway could be caused by an imbalanced tire and wheel assembly or something else — a bent wheel, a damaged tire (which won’t be fixed by balancing), worn suspension parts or other aging components. If you feel a vibration, don’t wait to get it diagnosed. You’ll head off other problems — and enjoy a smoother ride — when your tires are well balanced. In addition to balancing, it’s important to keep your tires properly maintained through regular auto repair tire services such as rotations, alignments, and checking for wear and tear.

If you are experiencing any of these issues or have any concerns, give us a call or come by and we’ll give you a prompt diagnosis of your tire balance.
