Tyres and Wheel Balancing are Critical for your Safety and Comfort
Properly fitted and balanced tyres enhance driving comfort, reduce tyre wear, and prevent steering wheel vibrations. Imbalanced tyres can cause uneven tread wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased stress on suspension components.
It is recommended to have your tyres balanced whenever they are replaced or if you experience vibrations while driving. Additionally, regular tyre rotation every 10,000 km can help maintain balance and even wear.
It is advisable to have tyre fitting and balancing performed by trained technicians with the necessary equipment. Tea Gardens Auto Electrical and Mechanical can ensure accurate installation and balance for optimal tyre performance.
Remember, maintaining properly balanced tyres contributes to a smoother and safer driving experience.
Having a regular Wheel Alignment is important for several reasons:
Wheel Alignment affects tyre wear
Proper wheel alignment ensures that the tyres wear evenly. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tyre wear, resulting in premature tyre damage and the need to replace tyres sooner than normal.
Wheel Alignment affects your vehicle handling
When wheels are properly aligned, it enhances the vehicle’s handling and steering response. Misalignment can lead to a pulling sensation, drifting to one side, or a shaky steering wheel, making the vehicle more difficult to control and potentially compromising safety.
Fuel Efficiency can be reduced due to poor Wheel Alignment
Misaligned wheels can create additional rolling resistance, causing the engine to work harder and decreasing fuel efficiency. By maintaining proper alignment, you can optimise fuel economy and save money on fuel costs.
Reduce stress on Suspension and Components
Improper wheel alignment can put unnecessary stress on the suspension components, including the shocks, struts, and steering linkage. Over time, this stress can lead to premature wear and damage to these parts, resulting in costly repairs.
Wheel Alignment can make your vehicle safer
A properly aligned vehicle is safer to drive. Accurate wheel alignment ensures that the tyres maintain optimal contact with the road surface, improving traction, stability, and braking performance. This is particularly crucial in emergency situations where precise control is essential.
To maintain the benefits mentioned above, it is recommended to have your vehicle’s wheel alignment checked regularly or whenever you notice any signs of misalignment.
