Tire Balance and Tire Rotation Working Together.

Unbalanced tires can lead to uneven wear, excessive vibration while driving, and potentially unsafe driving conditions. A tire balance or tire rotation service will help to ensure that your tires are spinning around as evenly as possible, important for optimal driving performance. The daily wear and tear on your tires causes changes in the distribution of weight around the tire and wheel assembly.

• All About Tire Balance

A tire balance service consists of removing the tire and wheel to mount it on a balancing machine, spinning it around to make sure the weight of the wheel and tire are balanced evenly around the axle. The machine will detect any imbalance and a lead weight will be placed on the opposite side of the tire to compensate for weight differences. The tires and wheel are then remounted.

A tire balance service will:

• Minimize any potential vibration felt in the steering wheel, seat, or floorboard
• Enhance the stability of the drive-train components for smoother riding
• Reduce tire wear and aid in proper tread-wear

How often should I have a tire balance service?

Based on wear or mileage, a good rule of thumb is to have a tire balance service every 3,000 - 6,000 miles, unless you are experiencing vibration at highway speed in the steering wheel, seat, floorboard, and if you are noticing scalloped/cupped wear patterns on your tires.

• All About Tire Rotation

The tires mounted on the drive wheels of any vehicle perform extra duty because they apply the power to the pavement. Rotating your tires means moving them from one side of the vehicle to the other, moving them from front to back, or a combination of both. A tire rotation service consists of removing the tires, inspecting the tread wear patterns, and then putting them back on where they will wear most evenly. If necessary, the tire-pressure monitors will be reset.

A tire rotation service will:

• Prevent uneven tire wear
• Maintain optimum driving performance
• Maintain fuel efficiency.

How often should I have a tire rotation service?

Most vehicle manufacturers recommend that a tire rotation be performed about every 7,500 miles or six months, unless you drive fewer than about 7,500 miles per year. Your tires will last longer and drive strong with regular rotation, and could save you hundreds of dollars in new tires.
