Tire balancing
Tire balancing corrects the uneven distribution of weight in tires, which is noticeable when the car is on the road, especially at high speeds, where you will feel strong vibrations either at the front or rear of the car.
Tires are balanced by placing them on a special device that spins the tire at high speed. Through centrifugal force, the device can pinpoint the exact location of the uneven distribution or imbalance in weight, whether on the inside or outside.

After identifying the imbalance, the technician installs lead weights according to the weight determined by the machine on the tire and on the correct side, then rebalances it again, where the new weight compensates for the previous weight distribution problem so that the tire rotates without problems.
Unbalanced tires affect not only the car's performance, driving comfort, and safety, but also other parts of the car, such as the suspension and steering systems, as the tires are connected to these systems and the violent vibrations they generate will affect them and damage some of their components.

Benefits of tire balancing
The benefits of tire balancing are as follows:
Makes driving safe
The most important benefit of tire balancing is that it makes driving safer, because when the weight distribution in one or more tires is incorrect, driving becomes dangerous, especially at high speeds or when the tires are old, cracked, or worn out, and you will also have difficulty steering due to violent vibrations.
Makes driving comfortable and quiet
When your car's tires are well balanced and the weight distribution is excellent, driving will be comfortable and quiet, unlike tires that need balancing, because they will make driving violent, harsh, and uncomfortable as a result of the entire car vibrating with the steering wheel, and they will also make it dangerous at times.
Extends tire life
There is no doubt that good tire balance will preserve their life for as long as possible and keep wear even on all sides, as uneven wear will also cause them to vibrate and make driving uncomfortable, especially at high speeds.

Improves fuel consumption
Unbalanced tires increase fuel consumption because they cause strong vibrations and jolts that lead to irregular driving, which will undoubtedly have a negative impact on fuel consumption, especially if the tires are left in this condition for a long time.
Protects the steering system
Wheel balancing protects the steering system components from damage, as the tires are directly connected to its components for steering and control. If the tires are unbalanced, the steering system components will be subjected to stress, which may damage some of its parts and be very costly to repair.
Protects the suspension system
The suspension system is connected to the tires, just like the steering system. This system absorbs shocks from potholes and bumps on the road and makes driving comfortable and smooth. However, if your car's tires are unbalanced, it will affect the suspension system and make driving difficult, uncomfortable, and even annoying at times.
