When should wheel balancing be done?

Tyres and wheels should be balanced:

1.) When new tyres are mounted on wheels for the first time.
2.) When tyres and wheels are rotated.
3.) When used tyres are mounted on existing wheels.
4.) After flat repair.
5.) Any other time a tyre is dismounted and remounted.


Balance should also be checked at the first sign of vibration, shimmy, or unusual treadwear. Any noticeable vibration or irregular treadwear should be taken to a professional for diagnosis.

NOTES: We recommend wheel alignment and wheel balancing should be check every 10,000 km or 8,000 miles
