If you've ever felt your car vibrate at high speeds or noticed uneven wear on your tires, your wheels may be unbalanced. Wheel balancing is an important part of routine vehicle maintenance that helps promote a comfortable ride and extend the life of your tires. When wheels are balanced, small weights are attached to counteract heavy spots, ensuring the wheel rotates smoothly. This helps eliminate vibrations you may feel in the steering wheel, floorboard, or seat when driving.
Regularly balancing your wheels helps prevent rapid or uneven tire wear. Over time, unbalanced wheels can cause certain spots on the tires to wear down faster than others. This may lead to a bumpy ride and reduced traction, especially in wet conditions. Most manufacturers recommend balancing wheels every 4,000 to 6,000 miles or every other tire rotation.
