What Is Wheel Balancing and Why Does It Matter?
Wheel balancing involves correcting uneven weight distribution in the tire and wheel assembly. Even minor imbalances can lead to:
-
Excessive tire wear
-
Poor handling and vibration
-
Reduced fuel efficiency
-
Premature wear of suspension components
Balancing helps distribute the weight evenly across all four wheels, providing a smooth ride, increased stability, and longer-lasting tires.

Vibration in the steering wheel, floorboard, or seat while driving
