When you take your car in for a tire change, the technician will typically balance the tire as well. Balancing a tire involves adding small weights to the wheel to ensure that it rotates evenly. This helps to prevent vibrations and premature wear on the tire.
In some cases, the technician may also need to balance the wheel itself. This is typically done if the wheel has been damaged or bent. Balancing a wheel involves adding weight to the inside of the wheel to ensure that it rotates evenly.
By balancing both the tire and the wheel, you can help to ensure that your car drives smoothly and safely.
