So, what are some of the signs of unbalanced tires, and what does balancing tires do for your vehicle? Better yet, if you’re currently online searching for “how do I know if my wheels need balancing”, we’ll answer that question while showcasing the expert service at Henise Tire.

Signs of Unbalanced Tires

There are several critical signs of unbalanced tires that you can watch for. First, if your car is swaying or pulling to one side, and you are forced to adjust the steering wheel or heavily compensate for this pullin, then it could point to an unbalanced tire. The excessive pulling is caused by a tire that is forced to bear a higher weight than the rest of the tires. Either that tire is not balanced or it may have low tire pressure.

Second, excessive vibration of your steering wheel is another common indication that your tires are not properly balanced. However, it’s not just your steering that vibrates. Your driver’s seat can vibrate, and you may feel vibration from the bottom of your feet from your floorboard.

Third, lower fuel economy is another sign that your tires may be imbalanced. If you know your vehicle’s mileage but suddenly find yourself filling up more often than normal, then it could be caused by imbalanced tires.

Finally, uneven tread wear is another sign that your tires are not properly balanced. This is because portions of the tire are more exposed to the road surface. Sometimes referred to as “cupping,” an imbalanced tire will show rippled, uneven tread wear.

Henise Tire Car Wheel Balancing

At Henise Tire, we are extremely detailed and meticulous when performing our wheel balancing services. We inspect the tires for uneven tread wear and look for signs of other potential problems. Driving with imbalanced tires can do serious damage to a vehicle’s suspension, so we are always cognizant of what to look for.

Our tire balancing services ensure an even weight distribution for your vehicle across all your tires. This ensures that no single tire is forced to compensate for a higher amount of your vehicle’s weight. So, how do we balance your tires?

• Inspect and Clean Rim and Tire: We always inspect and clean your tire and rim, constantly looking for telltale signs of abnormal wear. Rims can easily become covered with dirt, grime, dust, and other road debris or may even be damaged because of excessive driving. Inspecting the tire rim helps to reduce the likelihood of a potential flat caused by poor tire pressure.
• Input Data Into our Wheel Balancer: We secure your tire inside our wheel balancer with a faceplate, spring, cone, and retaining drum. We then input several variables, such as the type of sidewall for your tire, the width of the tire, make, tire number, and the dimensions of the flange.
• Rapid Balancing by Computer: Our wheel balancer contains a powerful computer that rapidly spins your tire. While your tire is spinning, the computer calculates radial forces from the center of your tire, quickly compensating for any vibration while finding the perfect angle. During this process, we often add weights to resolve any imbalance in your tires.
