FAQs

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.
