Wheels balancing
Tire balancing or wheel balancing, is a process that all car tires undergo to make them run better on the road by addressing the problem of weight imbalance on one side of the tire, which you will feel while driving.
The tires are placed one by one on a special device that checks for uneven weight distribution and then determines where the problem is. The technician then places metal weights usually lead, on the side opposite the weight imbalance to make the tire rotation sound and balanced.
Although wheel balancing solves the problem of tire weight imbalance, it is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one, because the tire problem that led to this imbalance can be exacerbated by potholes or bumps, and the problem may be with the rims, which require more extensive repairs.

Benefits of wheels balancing
Below, we will show you the benefits of tire balancing, which will make you want to balance your tires as soon as possible:
Your car will be safe
Wheel balancing makes driving safer and more enjoyable, as unbalanced wheels can cause major problems such as bulges, cracks, or uneven treads. Driving at high speeds will exacerbate these problems and may cause the tire to burst, or make controlling the car difficult and uncomfortable.
Makes driving smoother
If one of your car's tires needs balancing, you will feel it on the road, especially at speeds exceeding 80 km/h, and the problem will be obvious, as you will feel vibrations and shaking throughout the car, especially in the steering wheel, because the tire is spinning with incorrect centrifugal force, and this will affect the entire movement of the car.

It will ensure that fuel consumption remains normal
One of the very important benefits of tire balancing is that it keeps fuel consumption within normal limits, as unbalanced tires will put a strain on the engine to compensate for the imbalance they cause in the drive system and the tires' contact with the ground, thus increasing fuel consumption, which may be significant in some cases.
It will make tires last longer
It is natural for unbalanced tires to wear out more than normal tires, because the problem that caused them to become unbalanced will affect the tire in general, whether it be cracks, significant wear, or obvious bulges. If they remain unbalanced or unchanged, they will affect the same tire and other tires and reduce their lifespan.

Protects the suspension system
Another important benefit of balancing is that it protects the suspension system components from damage and wear, as the vibrations it causes will be directly connected to its components. If not addressed, this will later turn into very costly problems that could be dangerous and cause an accident, God forbid.
Protects the steering system
Since the steering system is connected to the suspension and tires, vibrations will affect it as well as the suspension system, exposing its components to significant stress. Some parts may be damaged, causing them to respond inaccurately, especially in emergency situations, and repairs can be very costly.
