Overview
When weight isn't spread evenly around a wheel and tyre, it shakes — through the steering at 80–100km/h, through the seat, and into your suspension. We spin-balance each wheel and add precise weights so it runs true. It's done with every new tyre we fit, and it's quick to do on its own if something feels off.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know my wheels are out of balance?
The tell-tale sign is a vibration that comes in at a certain speed — often through the steering wheel around 80–100km/h. Uneven, patchy tyre wear is another clue.
Does balancing fix pulling to one side?
No — pulling is usually an alignment issue. Balancing fixes vibration. If you've got both, we'll sort both in the same visit.
