So much happens inside of a car that occasionally needs a tune-up or adjustment. Belts, fluid levels, engine, A/C unit, all these different parts all wear down at different times and take time to repair that sometimes we can forget about one of the most important parts of the car.Â
Everyone’s runs into the problem of driving a car and noticing a little rumble as you’re going along. Any shake to the car is cause for concern, but sometimes the solution is as simple as having your tires just a little bit out of balance. While not a terribly serious issue it’s still important to get taken care of to save you from future headaches.
What happens when tires are unbalanced?
When your tires become unbalanced that means the weight of the car isn’t being distributed evenly. This can cause a handful of issues like the uneven wearing of tires. Having properly balanced tires also just makes the driving experience more comfortable.
When should I balance my tire?
It’s important to check up on the tread of your tires every so often just like checking on everything else in your car. The common recommendation is getting them rotated around every 8,000 kilometers, but if you feel any vibrations or notice uneven tread that’s a sign it might be time to come in.
You’ll also want to get a quick balance done if you by new tires or repair a flat. This can tip the balance off just a bit so it’s best to keep ahead of the problem.
