Elysian Auto Service: Do My Tires Need To Be Balanced?


Have you had your tires balanced recently? One of the biggest signs you are in need of a balance is a vibration/shake, especially at higher speeds. It can be frightening at first, especially if you aren’t familiar with tire balancing. The good news is that it is a rather quick and easy fix. 


How are tires balanced?

A specialized machine is used which tells technicians exactly how much weight needs to be added and where. Each wheel is inserted individually onto the machine. All of your tires are different and will need weights added in different spots. The added weight counterbalances the heavy spots in the tire. Now you will have perfectly balanced tires. This not only gives you a smoother ride but also more even tire wear. 


How often should tires be balanced? 

Elysian Auto Service recommends this service be performed every 3 tire rotations or every 15,000 miles. Keeping your tires regularly rotated, balanced, and aligned will ensure you get as much out of them as possible.
