Wheel Balancing
An “On Rims” tire change generally does not require wheel balancing. All else being equal, the wheels that were balanced when coming off your automobile will still be balanced when being put back on. A sure tell sign that the wheels need balancing is if your steering wheel vibrates or shakes at highway speeds.
An “Off Rims” tire change requires wheel balancing every time. This is because a wheel’s true centre of gravity changes each time you take a tire off its rim and put one back on. Without proper balancing, not only will you notice a vibration in your steering wheel but it can also cause premature tread wear.
