Why do wheels go out of balance?
As the name says, wheels go out of balance when one part is heavier than the others. There are various reasons for wheel imbalance. First and the foremost, you may come across road irregularities including bumps, potholes or sharp objects quite often. As a result, steel tyre belts may break or wheels can get imbalanced. Secondly, driving at high speeds, weather fluctuations, and deflation are also some of the main causes of wheel imbalance.
You can definitely minimise the risk of imbalance by taking precautions. However, you can never completely eliminate it. So, we suggest you drive to us for a checkup if you observe the following signs.
Signs of wheel imbalance
- Do you feel vibrations throughout the vehicle, especially at higher speeds? These vibrations are usually in the steering wheel, car seat or floor. New cars, especially, are more sensitive to wheel imbalance, as they are made with ultra-sensitive suspension and wheels. Moreover, these vibrations lead to buzzing or humming noise that gets louder at higher speeds.
- If your tyres show unusual tyre wear along the inner and outer edge of tyres, then this may be imbalance. Normal tyre wear is across the tread, so you will know if it is usual or unusual!
- Unbalanced tyres put a lot of stress on the engine, so engine has to work harder as a result of the resistance created by imbalance. Thus, engine requires more fuel than usual to perform its function. This leads to lower fuel economy.
