Wheel balancing and Rotation
At Direct Tyres & Auto we offer wheel balancing and rotation services.
Wheel balancing is essential for a smooth ride and long shelf life of tyres. Even the best brands of tyres will go out of balance eventually. Out-of-balance tyres will cause a car to vibrate at certain speeds; usually between 50mph and 70mph. At Direct Tyres & Auto our expert team can help solve the problem and bring your vehicle back to its normal state.
How it's done:
- We start by removing your wheels from the car
- The wheels are spun on our cutting-edge HUNTER balancing machine
- The wheel and tyre is carefully inspected to point out any damage or faults which could cause problems for balancing
- Low points are identified in the wheel and weights are applied to counter any disruption.
How to tell if your tyres need balancing?
- Uneven or fast tyre wear
- Steering wheel vibration while braking
- Steering wheel vibration at high speeds
Know when your tyres need rotating
Your tyres will need rotating at least once in the lifespan you use them. This is because while many cars are rear wheel drive, Most of the driving force is put on the front. The front tyres are used for steering and absorb most extreme cornering conditions first which is why they tend to wear out quicker. Rotating the tyres can help increase tyre life and save you money in the long term.
