What Is Tire Balancing?

You have a lot riding on your four wheels. From driving your kids to school to taking your dog to the vet, you depend on your tires to deliver a smooth, safe ride. But as with all other car parts, your tires must be appropriately maintained. One of the issues that your tires will eventually experience is imbalance. The more you drive your vehicle, the more weight can be placed on some regions of tires rather than others.


Tire balancing, also called wheel balancing, is one of several tire services that will extend the life of your vehicle’s tires, reduce premature wear and tear, and keep you safe behind the wheel. This preventative maintenance service involves mounting your wheels and tires to a tire balancing machine. The machine then spins the wheels and tires in order to measure any imbalances. This allows a tire service mechanic to correct the weights to balance your tires.

Does Your Vehicle Need Its Wheels Balanced?

You may notice some telltale symptoms if your car needs its wheels balanced. Some signs that your vehicle needs tire balancing services include:


  • If your car is pulling to one side
  • Your steering wheel feels shaky
  • You notice fast or uneven tire tread wear

Your tires should be balanced with every tire rotation or every 5,000 to 6,000 miles. This ensures the weight is evenly distributed so your car runs at its best.
