Why Do Wheels Get Out of Balance?

There are a number of reasons to bring your vehicle in for wheel balancing, many of which are out of your control. For example, your wheel may be slightly off-balance due to imperfections in the tire itself. This is very common and can be easily solved by either shifting the position of the tire on the wheel or by using precision weights to recalibrate them.

It often happens that if a tire is replaced, the new tire must be balanced to the weight of the wheel itself. And although we are always careful to do that, other shops may forget while rushing through service orders.

Tires can also get out of balance over time, through everyday wear and tear. As each tire wears a little differently, they may throw the wheel off balance, causing it to vibrate or wobble during rotation.

Wheel balancing requires patience and a nuanced understanding of mechanical engineering. Our mechanics are certified and have extensive training. With years of experience, they have acquired the uncanny ability to rebalance even the most challenging wheels. Every day we are impressed with their work. And we know you will be too.

Tire Rotation Inspection

In order to properly rotate your tires, we always begin with an inspection. Our auto mechanics are tire experts and will accurately assess the current condition of your tires.

We will check the wear patterns on the tread to determine how best to proceed. The process will tell us, for example, whether the tires should be moved from front to rear, left to right, or if they need to be rotated in another pattern. We have experience rotating tires on every major automotive brand and will apply the correct rotation pattern accordingly.

Why Is Tire Rotation Important?

Tire rotation should be part of every driver’s annual maintenance plan. It ensures that your tires will wear evenly, giving you a smoother ride and ensuring that your tires remain in top condition for a long time.

Each wheel puts a different kind of wear on its tire. For example, if you have a front-wheel-drive car, the tires on the front get a lot more torque and friction than those on the rear. In some cases, we’ve seen the front wheel on front-wheel-drive cars wear down twice as fast as those on the rear. Rotating the tires from front to rear, you ensure that all your tires wear down at an even pace.

Uneven tire wear can also lead to issues with vehicle handling and braking. By rotating your tires at regular intervals, you will ensure that your car is safe and handles well in a variety of road conditions.

Tire Inspection Services

Depending on the kind of puncture your tire has, we may be able to do tire puncture repair. The first step is to give it a thorough inspection and assessment. We want to figure out what caused the damage and how extensive it is. For example, if there is damage to the sidewall, the whole tire may need to be replaced. But if it’s a small puncture in the tread itself, we may be able to repair it.

We will also check for signs of wear that may limit our ability to perform the repair. Our auto tire repair specialists will give do an in-depth assessment of your tire’s condition to determine what work can be done on it.

Can My Tire Be Repaired?

Let’s start by discussing the kinds of damage that cannot be repaired at our tire repair shop:

• Damage to the sidewall
• Excess wear
• Wear caused by driving while flat
• Tread punctures greater than 1/4” in diameter
• Shoulder punctures
• Shredded inner liner
• Jagged cuts caused by road debris
• Problems with bead
• Any puncture that is outside the repairable area as designated by the manufacturer

In most cases, flat tires need to be replaced. But if your tire has a puncture with a diameter less than 1/4 and it is within the area of the tread that the manufacturer has designated as repairable, we will be able to do it. Auto tire repair is an affordable and inexpensive option compared to replacement.

Your best bet is to bring it in and let the experts give it a once over. Remember, if you want to have your tire repaired, don’t drive on it while it’s flat.

When to Get a Car Alignment

It’s strongly recommended that you get a wheel alignment when you have new tires installed. This will ensure that your new tires wear evenly, according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. It will also guarantee that any uneven tread wear is likely to have been caused by manufacturer’s defects rather than a failure to maintain your vehicle.

Moreover, we generally recommend getting an auto-alignment at least once a year. It’s an important part of your annual car maintenance checks and tune-ups. Not only does it prevent uneven wear on your tires, thereby extending their lifespan, it also gives your wheel components a chance to be re-greased. This will prevent seized bolts and shims, as well as corrosion.

If you are concerned about the condition of your tires, call us now for an assessment!

Signs that You Need Auto Wheel Alignment

The exceptions to the one-year rule are people who drive in harsh conditions. This includes road conditions such as:

• Excessive potholes
• Rough terrain
• Mountainous conditions
• Off-road conditions

In these cases, it’s necessary to be vigilant for the following signs that you need a wheel alignment:

• If your vehicle veers to one side or the other while driving
• Your tires are showing uneven tread wear
• You hear a soft vibrating noise while driving
• You recently drove over a curb or hit a pothole

When you bring your vehicle to Pine Hill Automotive, LLC, we will perform an in-depth assessment regarding your alignment. This includes both a visual inspection of the tire treads and a precision measurement on the lift.

Perfect Wheel Alignment With State-of-the-Art Technology

Although your mechanic will diagnose a misaligned car by uneven tread wear, precision repairs can only be achieved with specialized automotive measurement technology. During our assessment, we will draw up a record of your current alignment measurements. This data will tell us exactly how to adjust the caster and camber to achieve perfect alignment.

Our experienced mechanics are specially trained to identify even the slightest misalignment. With patience, care, and precision instruments, they will realign your wheels and get you ready for another year of smooth driving.
