Often confused with wheel alignment, a properly balanced wheel is a beautiful, perfectly tuned wheel-tire combination. This is accomplished by placing measured lead weights on the oppsite side of the "heavy spot"- the noticeable tread wear on your unbalanced tire.
How do you know if you need your wheels balanced?
Is your vehicle vibrating at certain speeds,say, 50-70 mph? If so, chances are your wheel is out of balance. Most people are satisfied with the difference such a simple and inexpensive procedure makes.
