How to Choose the Right Tyres for Your Vehicle: A Comprehensive Guide
September 21, 2024Lets Talk About Wheel Stability
Wheel balancing and wheel alignment are two crucial services that keep your vehicle running smoothly, but they are often confused. Wheel balancing involves distributing the weight of the tyre and wheel assembly evenly around the axle. When a wheel is not balanced, you may feel vibrations through the steering wheel or seat, especially at higher speeds. These vibrations can lead to uneven tyre wear, reducing the tyre’s lifespan and causing discomfort during driving. To avoid this, have your wheels balanced whenever you replace your tyres or feel any vibration while driving.
On the other hand, wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are perfectly aligned with each other and the road. Misaligned wheels cause your vehicle to pull to one side, making it difficult to steer and increasing the wear on your tyres. Proper wheel alignment not only improves vehicle handling but also prevents uneven tyre wear, which can lead to expensive replacements if not addressed. Common signs that your vehicle needs an alignment include the steering wheel feeling off-center or the vehicle pulling to one side.
Both services are essential for extending tyre life and ensuring a comfortable and safe driving experience. Regular wheel balancing and alignment reduce wear and tear on tyres and improve fuel efficiency by lowering rolling resistance. If you notice any signs of imbalance or misalignment, it’s important to address the issue quickly to avoid further damage.
