Does your steering wheel shake or vibrate at certain speeds? If so, it could be caused by a missing or shifted wheel weight and may be the reason for the vibration.
Book a Wheel Balance
You should get your wheels balanced
Regular tyre rotation and wheel balancing contributes to longer tyre life.
Wheel balancing ensures each tyre spins smoothly and evenly on its axis, helping to reduce vibrations and provide a more comfortable ride. Because each tyre and wheel assembly is weighted slightly differently, balancing is an important part of maintaining your tyres.
It’s a good idea to balance your tyres whenever you rotate them, as changing their position can cause vibration. The Discount Tyres team recommend doing both at the same time to keep things running smoothly.
We all know a puncture can strike anywhere, but unless you have no option, don’t be tempted to drive on your punctured tyre. It is not safe and you’ll likely damage it beyond repair. Pull over, replace with it your spare, and bring it in to Discount Tyres.
Eliminate excessive wear on the front and rear tyres with a tyre rotation every 10,000 kilometres or 6 months.
The Discount Tyre team can help you with wheel alignment and wheel balancing services too.
If your car pulls to one side, your steering wheel isn’t straight, or your tyres are wearing unevenly, it’s time for a wheel alignment.
Properly aligned wheels improve handling and help your tyres last longer. Visit one of our four Auckland locations and the Discount Tyres team will get you back on track.
