Wheel Balancing
Unbalanced tires can cause your car to vibrate when traveling at speeds of 50-70 mph. This is because certain sections of the tire may become heavier than others, causing the tire to rotate unevenly. Even a small imbalance can cause vibration, which can affect the handling of your car.
To balance a wheel, a technician will mount it on a balancing machine, which will spin the wheel to locate the heaviest part. The technician will then attach lead weights to the opposite side of the wheel to compensate for the heavier sections. Many customers are surprised at how much smoother their car drives after having their tires balanced.
Benefits of Wheel Balancing
- Reduced vibrations: Wheel balancing helps to reduce vibrations that can cause a bumpy and uncomfortable ride.
- Improved handling and stability: By reducing vibrations, wheel balancing also improves handling and stability. When the wheels are balanced, the vehicle tracks straighter and handles more responsively in turns. This is because the tires can maintain better contact with the road and transfer forces more efficiently.
- Extended tire life: Unbalanced wheels can cause uneven wear on tires, leading to premature tire replacement. This is because the tires will be forced to work harder and will wear down more quickly in certain areas. Wheel balancing helps to distribute the weight evenly, ensuring that all areas of the tires wear at the same rate.
- Reduced noise: Vibrations from unbalanced wheels can also contribute to road noise. When the wheels are balanced, the vibrations are reduced, and the vehicle becomes quieter. This is especially noticeable at high speeds.
- Improved fuel economy: Unbalanced wheels can also impact fuel economy. This is because the extra resistance caused by vibrations can increase the amount of energy required to propel the vehicle forward. Wheel balancing helps to reduce this resistance, resulting in improved fuel efficiency.
- Extended suspension life: The extra stress caused by unbalanced wheels can put additional strain on the suspension system. Wheel balancing helps to reduce this stress and protect the suspension components, extending their lifespan.
- Reduced wear on steering components: The steering system can also be affected by unbalanced wheels. The vibrations can cause excessive wear on the steering components, such as the tie rods and ball joints. Wheel balancing helps to protect these components and reduces the need for premature repairs.
- Reduced wear on wheel bearings: Wheel bearings are essential for smooth and efficient wheel rotation. Unbalanced wheels can put extra stress on the bearings, causing them to wear out prematurely. Wheel balancing helps to protect the wheel bearings and extend their lifespan.
Wheel balancing is an important maintenance service that can improve your car’s performance, safety, and fuel efficiency. Al Amimi Tyre Trading in Dubai offers the most affordable and high-quality wheel balancing service.
