What is Tire Balancing?

During a professional tire balancing service at Tom's Tire Pros in Abilene, San Angelo, & Eastland, TX, one of our expert service technicians will remove your tire and wheel set and place it into a specialized computerized wheel balancing machine. This machine will determine how unbalanced your wheels are, and the service tech will install small metal weights onto your wheel rim to balance the set.

Why is Tire Balancing Important? 

Tire balancing will help with even tire wear, longer tire life, and a comfortable ride. It will allow the wheel and tire combination to be as equal in weight as possible. Out-of-balance tires can cause faster tread wear, poor fuel economy, and vibration in the steering wheel. Tire balancing and tire rotation are essential for proper tire care to help maximize tire lifespan and overall performance.

Tire Balancing Services Consists of These Five Steps:

• Remove the tire from the vehicle
• Place the tire on a tire balancing machine
• Spin the tire to identify where weight imbalances exist and to determine where to attach counter-weights
• Apply counter-weights to the wheel
• Reinstall the tire
