There is more maintenance to tires than tire rotations. For example, two other routine tire services are wheel alignment and wheel balancing. These are not the same, and you should know the difference, so you can get the correct service for your car tires. Learn more about wheel balancing vs. wheel alignment with Spitzer Nissan’s service team below!
Wheel balancing is a service that needs to be done regularly as wheels lose their balance over time. When your wheels are unbalanced, it can cause the steering wheel to shake or vibrate, which will be uncomfortable as you drive around Van Buren. Plus, unbalanced tires develop varying tire wear because one part of the tire is heavier than the others.
When your wheels are balanced, your car will provide a smooth ride. Wheel balancing also minimizes tire bouncing, improves traction and control, and extends the life of your tires. You should have your wheels balanced when you get your tires rotated, which you should do every 5,000 to 6,0000 miles or every 6 months.
While wheel balancing needs to be done regularly, wheel alignment (sometimes referred to as a front-end alignment) on the other hand should be done as needed. When you have your wheels aligned, the service technician will check and ensure that the tires are perpendicular to the road and parallel to each other.
What happens when your wheels are out of alignment in Arcadia? Wheels that are out of alignment can result in excessive, uneven tread, unnecessary wear and tear on your tires, and steering issues. It can also cause vehicle pulling, which can lead to drifting into the next lane when you’re on the road. That’s why it’s crucial to get this service task done when you realize there’s an issue.
After learning about these two tire services, you will likely know which your car needs. If not, here’s what you should remember:
