Wheel Balancing – Lingerfield, Knaresborough

At A.S Autoworks, we balance wheels accurately across a wide range of vehicles and tyre sizes, including low-profile tyres, which are more sensitive to imbalance and require particular care during the balancing process.

Wheel balancing is one of those jobs that makes an immediate, noticeable difference. An out-of-balance wheel creates vibration that travels through the steering wheel and floor, often most pronounced at motorway speeds and causes uneven tyre wear that shortens the life of the tyre significantly.

It’s a quick, straightforward job, and one that should be carried out whenever new tyres are fitted and checked periodically thereafter.

Signs your wheels may need balancing:

• Vibration through the steering wheel at higher speeds
• A shaking or juddering sensation through the floor or seat
• Uneven or patchy tyre wear
• Increased road noise that wasn’t there before
• Vibration that worsens and then eases off as speed changes

After we’ve fitted new tyres

Every new tyre should be balanced when it’s fitted, no exceptions. A tyre that leaves the factory isn’t perfectly uniform, and the combined weight distribution of the tyre, wheel, and valve requires balancing to run smoothly. We balance all tyres as standard at the point of fitting, and we use the correct weight type for your wheel finish, whether that’s alloy, steel, or a finish that requires adhesive weights.

As members of the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI), we’re held to recognised standards of professionalism and technical competence. One more reason you can trust A.S Autoworks with your vehicle.
