Tire Balancing Service

Tire Balancing Service at Stanley Auto Group

Your tires are an important part of your vehicle. They require several services to keep them functioning at their best. One service is to make sure they are in balance as you drive around Dallas, Brownfield, and Gilmer. You can get your tires balanced at the service department of the dealerships with Stanley Auto Group.

Balancing Your Tires

Tire balancing, which may also be called wheel balancing, involves putting the tire and wheel on an assembly machine. The machine spins the wheel around to measure its balance. It provides a measurement to show how unbalanced the wheel is. The technician puts weights on the wheel to balance it out, then mounts the tire on the vehicle.

When tires are in balance, their weight is distributed evenly over the wheel, which makes for a smoother ride. When they are out of balance, the ride is uncomfortable. You need to have the wheels balanced when you buy new tires or have an alignment.

The Benefits of Balanced Tires

Besides enjoying a smooth ride, balanced tires last longer. They wear evenly and offer better gas mileage. You may also experience a quieter ride on the road.

Your tires can become unbalanced when your wheels get out of alignment. If your vehicle is involved in an accident or you hit a curb, it can lead to unbalanced tires and misaligned wheels. If your vehicle sits in one spot for a long time, the tires may have an indentation, which can lead to them being unbalanced.

How to Tell When Tires Need Balancing

If you notice that your tires don’t wear evenly, it means there is a problem. It can be from being unbalanced or out of alignment. No matter the cause, you need to have your vehicle serviced by the service department at Stanley Auto Group to prevent further issues.

Vibrations, when you’re driving, can also mean your tires are out of balance. If the steering wheel is vibrating, it often indicates that the front tires need to be balanced. Vibrations along the seats can imply that the issue is with the rear tires.

It’s best to get your tires balanced on a regular basis, usually when you have them rotated. For most models, this will occur about every 5000 to 6000 miles. If you don’t keep your tires in balance, it can lead to suspension repairs.
