Wheel balancing is the process of equalizing the weight distribution of a vehicle's wheels. This ensures that the tires wear evenly and the vehicle handles properly. When wheels are unbalanced, it can lead to vibrations, uneven tire wear, and strain on suspension components. During the balancing process, small weights are added to the rim of the wheel to counteract any heavy spots. This is typically done using a balancing machine that spins the wheel to identify imbalances. Regular wheel balancing is essential for maintaining a smooth ride and prolonging the life of your tires.
