Wheel Balancing at Grip and Go Tyres

What is Wheel Balancing?

Wheel balancing is a critical maintenance procedure that ensures even weight distribution of the wheel and tyre assembly. It involves adjusting the weight distribution around the wheel to minimize vibrations and provide a smooth ride.

Why is Wheel Balancing Important?

Properly balanced wheels offer several benefits:

• Reduced Vibrations: Balancing eliminates vibrations felt through the steering wheel or vehicle floor, enhancing comfort for passengers.

• Extended Tyre Life: Even weight distribution reduces uneven tyre wear, prolonging the lifespan of your tyres.

• Improved Handling: Balanced wheels contribute to better vehicle stability and steering response, especially at higher speeds.

• Enhanced Safety: Minimizing vibrations improves overall driving safety by maintaining consistent contact between tyres and the road surface.

Signs You Need Wheel Balancing:

• Vibrations: If you feel vibrations through the steering wheel or vehicle floor, especially at higher speeds, it may indicate that your wheels are out of balance.

• Uneven Tyre Wear: Irregular tyre wear patterns, such as cupping or scalloping, can result from unbalanced wheels.

• Steering Pull: A vehicle pulling to one side could be caused by imbalanced wheels affecting alignment.

Grip and Go Tyres' Wheel Balancing Process:

1. Initial Inspection:
   • Our technicians start with a visual inspection of the wheels and tyres to check for signs of damage or wear.
2. Mounting on Balancer:
   • Each wheel is mounted on a computerized wheel balancer that spins the wheel and measures imbalance using sensors.
3. Weight Placement:
   • Based on the balancer's readings, precise weights are strategically placed on the rim to counteract imbalance.
4. Verification:
   • After balancing, the technician verifies the results to ensure the wheel meets manufacturer specifications for balance.
5. Final Adjustment:
   • If necessary, fine adjustments are made to achieve optimal balance and smooth operation.
