Wheel Balancing at Vermont Tire
Wheel balancing is a tune-up for your wheel-tire set. It makes sure that weight is evenly distributed around the entire circumference of the unit.
The common symptoms of out-of-balance tires:
-
Uneven and faster tread wear

Poor fuel economy
-
Vibration in the steering wheel, floorboard or seat that gets worse at faster speeds
