Professional Wheel Balancing from Thomas Tyres
Forming part of our tyre fitment services, wheel balancing remains an important consideration for all motorists. This type of maintenance should be performed at least once every 10 000km, in order to prolong the lifespan of your tyres. While many people think that wheel alignment and balancing are the same thing, there are some important differences.
While wheel alignment makes sure that all tyres sit at the appropriate angles on the road, wheel balancing helps to avoid unnecessary vibrations in the steering wheel or floorboards, brought on by the uneven distribution of weight on the vehicle’s wheel units. In an effort to ensure equal load distribution on all four sides of the car’s wheels, small counter weights are used to balance out high and low spots.
These are only a few of the many tyre fitment services that you can expect from our leading tyre centre.
