Importance of Balancing, Rotation & Alignment

Tyre & Wheel Rotation – Keeping You Rolling Smoothly!

Sure, wheels go round and round, but that’s not what we mean when we talk about tyre and wheel rotation.

At Tyres & More®, rotation means swapping the front and back tyres to ensure they wear evenly, improving your car’s:

  • Stability
  • Traction
  • Overall handling

We know tyre rotation inside out (literally)! Let us do it for you and keep your car running at its best.

Is Tyre Rotation Always Possible?

Not always! Some vehicles have different tyre sizes on the front and back, which means rotation might not be ideal.

  • Don’t get the runaround – and definitely don’t run aground! Get in touch with us today!

Wheel Alignment vs. Wheel Balancing – What’s the Difference?

To-may-toe, to-mar-toe? Same thing.

Wheel alignment and tyre balancing? Totally different!

Both are critical for your safety, handling, and tyre lifespan, but here’s what sets them apart:

Wheel Balancing

  • Fixes vibrations that can be felt in the steering wheel or seat.
  • Prevents uneven tyre wear due to imbalance.

Wheel Alignment

  • Ensures your wheels are properly aligned with the road.
  • Prevents excessive tyre wear and steering issues.

Both should be checked regularly to ensure your ride is smooth, safe, and efficient.

How Often Should You Check Alignment & Balancing?

  • Wheel Alignment: Every 10,000 km
  • Wheel Balancing: Before any long trip
