In order to maintain control of your vehicle, your tires and wheels require routine maintenance services. Route 10 Tire offers computerized wheel balancing services in Granby, CT.
A computerized wheel balancing service is done to identify any imbalances in mass distribution within your tire and wheel set. Specialized equipment rotates your tires at operating speeds, uses various sensors to calculate mass distribution, and recommends adding weights to balance it out.
Tire balancing has a positive impact on tire life and the overall performance of your vehicle. It ensures a more comfortable ride, reduces tire and treadwear, and helps preserve your vehicle's suspension. A vehicle will have a smoother ride and be safer to drive with adequately balanced tires. Tires can be out of balance due to many factors, such as wear and tear on your front-end parts, hitting potholes, hard braking causing flat spots, and even poor tire construction. Continuous driving on imbalanced tires will lead to premature tire replacement and increased fuel consumption.
Tires can also get out of balance over time through road bumps, potholes, tire wear, and other adverse conditions. When tires are out of balance, you will feel a vibration in the seat or floor of your vehicle. Driving on imbalanced tires can cause many issues, including accelerated wear and tear on your tires. The goal of tire balance is to distribute weight equally around the entire circumference of the tire. Common indicators of out-of-balance tires include:
• The car experiences vibration at high speeds • There's uneven wear on the tread • There's an increase in fuel consumption • There are issues with the suspension
Tire imbalance will occur over time through everyday wear and tear, regular driving, and unfavorable road conditions. Tires are out-of-balance when one part of the tire becomes heavier than the other parts. As each tire wears a little differently, they may throw the wheel off balance, causing it to vibrate or wobble during rotation. The imbalance is rectified by either shifting the tire's position on the wheel or using precision weights to recalibrate them. Tires must be checked for balance every 4,000 - 6,000 miles.
