Tire Balance vs. Wheel Alignment Service

Whether your tires require a balance or alignment, it means your riding and handling have been affected. While they are commonly associated with one another, often mistaken as the same tire maintenance service, they are two entirely different services. 

A tire balance corrects the weight imbalance on your wheel assembly, while an alignment corrects the angles of the tires so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way. Both tire services create an optimal driving experience, and our Indianapolis area service center is here to help you learn more and provide assistance!

Warning Signs I Need a Wheel Alignment

A need for a wheel alignment has more to do with the suspension system, which in turn affects the direction and angle your wheels turn. Some warning signs that may indicate a need for a wheel alignment include: 

• The car is pulling to one side of the road
• The tire treads are wearing out prematurely or unevenly
• The steering wheel tilts off-center when you're driving
• The steering wheel vibrates when accelerating

Warning Signs I Need a Tire Balance

When all areas of the wheel-tire unit are as equal in weight as possible, the tire will roll smoothly. Not only does tire balancing contribute to ride comfort, but also tire lifespan. Warning signs of a tire imbalance share similar warning signs of a wheel alignment and may include:

• Poor fuel economy 
• Delayed response
• Uneven tire wear
