Your tires are one of the most important aspects of your vehicle and they require careful attention and maintenance. Misaligned wheels and improper tire balance can result in higher maintenance costs in the future as the constant shaking will impact the car’s suspension, making those parts wear out sooner than they should. Let’s take a closer look at how maintaining your wheels and tires can improve your driving experience:

Smoother Drive

With the wear and tear of daily driving, the tread on your tires will naturally begin to wear down. This wear causes subtle imbalances in the distribution of weight between your vehicle’s wheels. Over time, this imbalance will cause wheel vibrations that can be felt from the underside of the car. Having your tires balanced regularly will prevent these vibrations in your vehicle.

Less Tire- Wear

When your wheels are properly balanced, all four tires will show even wear patterns. To ensure that your tires wear at an even rate, you should have your tires regularly rotated. 

Enhanced Performance

Your vehicle’s drive-train is designed to perform optimally when paired with tires that are properly inflated and in good condition. When you take proper care of your tires, you will experience better acceleration and braking, and will get the best possible fuel economy.

When To Check Your Wheel Balance 

Similar to oil changes, wheel balancing is something you should check on a regular basis. You’ll want to get in the habit of rotating your tires, and as a result, balancing your wheels, every other time you take your car in for an oil change. Typically you change your oil every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, so try to have your wheels balanced every 10,000 miles.
