Dually Wheel Balancing Calgary

Have you noticed that the wheels of your vehicle usually have uneven wear patterns? Or the vibrations in your car are much higher than usual? The reason could be that your tires are not balanced properly or you could have an issue with your wheel alignment. Although these two issues usually come up together & are sometimes considered synonymous by laymen, they are in fact very different from each other and require two completely different types of fixes. Wheel alignment is when you have a problem with the angles of your tires and tire unbalancing issues are caused by unequal weight distribution in the tires.

What Causes Issues With Tire Balancing?

Over time as you drive, due to uneven tire wear and uneven thread wear the weight distribution in the tire changes. The unusual weight distribution leads to even more thread wear and faster wearing out of the tires. The first things you’ll notice however is the jarring vibrations across the car.

How Do I Balance My Tires?

– Safely removing your tires
– Using a state of the art balancing machine
– Using the machine to detect imbalance in the tires
– Spinning the tires around the axel to check proper balance across the tire
– Attaching lead weights to ensure proper balance around the tires
– Safely attaching the tires back onto the car once the wheels are properly balanced for the best driving experience
