Tire balancing evens out the weight of your wheel-and-tire assembly so it spins smoothly and safely. If you’re feeling vibrations, it’s time to get checked—balancing is quick, precise, and protects your tires and suspension.
Free tire rotation and balance are included with tires purchased and installed at Discount Tire for the life of your tires. Visit any store, or save time when you schedule an appointment. Not sure where to go? Find a store.
Modern vehicles and lower-profile tires can be more sensitive to imbalance, so small issues are easier to feel.
Discount Tire recommends balancing every 6,000 miles. Pair it with your tire rotation to keep wear even and your ride smooth.
A technician mounts your wheel-and-tire assembly on a calibrated spin balancer to identify heavy spots, then applies precision wheel weights to correct both: - Static imbalance (up-and-down hop) - Dynamic imbalance (side-to-side wobble)
Weights may be clip-on or adhesive, depending on your wheel design.
If vibration persists, the issue could be a bent wheel, out-of-round tire, brake wear, suspension wear, or alignment. In these cases, we may use a road force balancer to diagnose and correct the problem.
