Proper tire balance is important for a smooth ride, even tire wear, and safe handling of your vehicle. But how can you tell if your tires need balancing? Here are a few signs to watch out for:
- Vibration in the steering wheel, floorboard, or seat at certain speeds, usually over 40-45 mph
- Uneven or rapid tire wear
- Pulling or drifting to one side
If you notice any of these symptoms, it's a good idea to have your tires checked and balanced by a professional. Tires should be balanced every 5,000 to 6,000 miles or as recommended in your vehicle's owner's manual. Getting a tire rotation at the same time can also help ensure even tire wear. It's also important to have them balanced any time a tire is repaired or replaced.
