Wheel Balancing & Tyre Rotation

Wheel balancing refers to how smoothly an individual wheel rotates around its own centre. Unbalanced wheels can cause other parts of your vehicle to wear more quickly, including shock absorbers, struts and steering components. If your wheels are not balanced correctly, it can affect the overall performance, handling and comfort of your car.

Tyre rotation involves moving the tyres from one position on the vehicle to another, helping them wear more evenly and potentially extending tyre life. Because each tyre experiences different loads and steering forces, regular rotation can improve tyre performance and help maintain consistent handling.

You might need a wheel balance or tyre rotation when:

  • Your steering wheel or vehicle vibrates at higher speeds.
  • Your tyres are wearing unevenly.
  • You have fitted new tyres.
  • Your tyres are being rotated.
  • You have hit potholes or regularly drive on rough roads.
  • Your vehicle feels less stable or comfortable than usual.
