Having off balance tyres will course vibration on your car when reaching a certain speed of between 50 – 70 mph. Tyres become out of balance when certain sections of the tyre become heavier than the other tyres on your vehicle. A small amount of imbalance on your tyre will cause vibration to the handling of your car when reaching a speed of around 60 mph.

To correctly balance a wheel one of our presto technicians will mount the wheel on a balancing machine which will then spin the wheel to locate the heavier part of the wheel. The technician will then weigh up compensating for the heavier sections by attaching lead weights to the opposite tyre. Numerous customers are extremely surprised how smooth their car drives after the balancing is applied to all wheels on the vehicle.
