Car owners should have their wheels balanced around every 7,000 miles. This is a big money industry that you should be a part of. 

Wheel balancing ensures that the weight of a car is evenly distributed around the wheel, and that the tyre rotates evenly. Unbalanced wheels can impact a car’s handling, comfort and tyre wear, so it’s vital to get them checked.

Does Wheel Balancing Need to be Done for all Four Tyres?

Yes, all four wheels need to be balanced. If not, you will be compromising safety and comfort, and your tyres will wear unevenly.

What are the Two Main Types of Wheel Balancing Machines?

The two main types of tyre balancers available on the market are static and dynamic. Static balancing assesses only the static (up and down) force. Whereas, dynamic balancing assesses the static (up and down) and the couple (shimmy side to side) forces together.
