Tire Rotation Service: Maximize Tire Life & Improve Safety
May 19, 2025
Ever felt your steering wheel shaking or your ride feeling bumpy? These could be signs that your vehicle needs wheel balancing, as unbalanced wheels impact your comfort and safety. Everyday wear and road conditions create weight imbalances, leading to vibrations, uneven tire wear, and poor handling.
Tire and wheel balancing corrects these issues, ensuring a smoother, safer, and more fuel-efficient drive. With Redwood Mobile Tire, expert balancing comes to you, saving you time and hassle.
Ignoring unbalanced wheels or tires can lead to suspension damage, premature tire wear, and poor fuel efficiency. Look out for these warning signs:
Steering Wheel Vibration: Shaking at certain speeds? Your front tires may be unbalanced.
Uneven Tire Wear: Irregular tread wear suggests some tires are carrying more weight than others.
Seat or Floorboard Vibration: Feeling vibrations in your seat or floor? Your rear wheels or tires may need balancing.
Experiencing any of these? Don’t wait—get your tires balanced today!
A professional technician mounts your wheel onto a high-precision balancing machine that detects weight imbalances. Then, small counterweights are added to distribute weight evenly across the wheel.
Static Balancing: A single counterweight position is used to correct imbalance.
Dynamic Balancing: Multiple positions are used to correct imbalance.
Many drivers confuse balancing and alignment, but they serve different purposes.
Feature | Wheel Balancing | Wheel Alignment |
Purpose | Ensures even weight distribution round the wheel | Adjusts suspension component’s angles for proper road contact |
Symptoms | Vibrations, uneven tire wear | Vehicle pulling to one side, uneven steering |
Process | Adding small counterweights to balance the wheel | Adjusting suspension components’ angles for proper wheel alignment |
When Needed? | When experiencing vibrations in the steering wheel | Every 10,000 to 15,000 miles, after buying new tires, or hitting a pothole |
Both are essential, but if you’re experiencing vibrations, tire balancing is likely the issue.
Experts recommend balancing your tires once a year.
