Wheel Balancing

Restore a Smooth Driving Experience with a Wheel Balance

Correct Vibration Issues Caused by Tire & Wheel Imbalances

An out-of-balance tire and wheel can impact your driving experience, causing vibration, typically at speeds of 45 mph or higher, while reducing the treadlife of your tires and prematurely wearing out other suspension components, such as bearings and shocks.

Imbalance may occur over time due to natural treadwear, which changes the distribution of weight in the tire/wheel assembly. Temperature changes can also have an effect, as well as the manufacturing process itself, which can result in certain areas of a tire or wheel being heavier than other areas.

An imbalance can be static (rolls unevenly up or down due to a heavy spot in the tire) or dynamic (rolls side-to-side due to uneven weight distribution on both sides of the/wheel).

Request a Wheel Balance in DeKalb County, IN

If you suspect you need a wheel balancing service in DeKalb County, IN, contact First Class Auto Repair LLC. We have a computerized wheel balancer that locates weight distribution discrepancies within a tire and wheel assembly.

During a wheel rebalancing service, we will mount the wheel on the computerized wheel balancer and spin it. The information we receive from the balancer will inform our technicians on how to proceed. Additional weight can be added to the tire and wheel assembly to create a more even distribution of weight between the two. Properly balanced tires and wheels result in a smoother ride, greater handling, and longer lasting tires.
