Balancing

Incorrect balancing not only causes vibration in the steering wheel and dashboard but can also cost you money!

Incorrect balancing causes premature wear of tyres and rapid wear of suspension parts.

Experiencing a ‘wobble’ in the steering wheel above a certain speed may be a sign that the wheels are not balanced properly. If left, this can not only be uncomfortable to drive, but may affect the performance of the vehicle.

• Road holding and handling characteristics
• Fuel economy
• Suspension and steering components
• Tyres against uneven and increased wear

When you purchase new tyres from ATS Euromaster we will always balance the wheels.This is because new tyres will often have inconsistencies in the rubber compound – wheel balancing will take account of this and encourage even wear on your new tyres.

Wheels should also be checked or balanced after a shock such as a pavement, pothole or stone, when a tyre looks abnormal or every 10,000 miles.

In ATS Euromaster service centres, the latest balancing equipment allows wheels to be balanced with great accuracy, to the nearest gram.
