Longer tyre life
Balanced tyres wear evenly - getting thousands more miles out of every set.
Less suspension wear
Reduces hammering on wheel bearings, shocks and steering components.
Better fuel economy
Smooth-rolling wheels cut rolling resistance and use less fuel.
Simple, clear, no surprises
Each wheel is removed in turn and inspected for damage.
Existing weights and any debris on the rim are stripped clean.
Mounted on our digital balancer that pinpoints imbalance to a single gram.
Stick-on or clip-on weights applied and wheel refitted to manufacturer torque.

Wheel Balancing - your questions answered
Q.How often should I balance my wheels?
Every time you fit new tyres and any time you notice steering vibration. We also recommend a balance check every 10,000 miles.
Q.Is balancing the same as alignment?
No - balancing corrects weight distribution around the wheel; alignment corrects the angles the wheels point. Many cars benefit from both.
Q.How much is wheel balancing?
From £8 per wheel or £28 for a full set. It's always free when you buy your tyres from us.
Q.Can you balance alloy wheels?
Yes - we use stick-on weights on the inside face of alloys so the finish stays clean.
Q.How long does it take?
Around 20-30 minutes for a full set of four wheels.
