All about tyre balance
Wheel balancing involves making sure each tyre is going to spin smoothly and evenly on its axis. Each tyre and axis are weighted slightly differently, so tyre balancing is an important procedure to allow you the smoothest ride in your vehicle.
Tyre balancing is a necessary and is a normal part of maintaining your tyres and should form part of the tyre rotation process. Mainly because rotating the wheels means that you are shifting the wheel from one position to another, which could generally cause a vibration.
