Wheel balancing

The steering wheel vibrates at some speeds? We balance the wheels on a machine that shows where the wheel is heavier.

Send us the number after R from the tyre sidewall.

We work in several cities in Serbia. Tell us your city.

When you need balancing

The car vibrates while driving

  • Hands on the steering wheel while drivingThe steering wheel shakes at 100 km/h, but not slower Most often the front wheels.
  • A wheel on a car: a steel rim with its boltsThe seat or the floor vibrates Then it can be the rear wheels too.
  • A front tyre up close, the edge of the tread worn unevenlyIt still vibrates after balancing We first look at the rim and the tyre.

No vibration, but it is time

  • Stacked tyres and wheels with new tyres on alloy rimsNew tyres We balance every wheel we fit a tyre on.
  • A plug with a stem pushed through the tyre treadA repaired tyre The tyre was taken off the rim.
  • A red car lifted on a jack, the removed wheel lying next to it, a cross wrench on the groundThe wheels swapped places
  • A pothole in the asphalt up closeA knock against a kerb or a pothole We look at the rim too.

Send us the number after R from the tyre sidewall. We will tell you the price.

How much does wheel balancing cost

For the balancing price we first need 2 things:

  1. 1

    The number after R from the tyre sidewall

    205/55R1691H

    From this number we only need: R16

  2. 2

    Where and when it vibrates, if it does

    For example: the steering wheel shakes at 100 km/h.

Price
You pay per wheel we balance. It depends on the wheel size and the type of rim. We ask the rest on the phone.
Payment
Cash or through a company.
Place and time
Tell us your city, we agree it by phone.

What the price depends on

  • How big the wheel is: the number after the letter R on the tyre sidewall.
  • Whether the rim is steel or alloy.
  • How many wheels we balance.
  • Whether we take the wheel off the car or you bring only the wheel.
  • Whether the tyres are run-flat or the wheels are from an SUV or a van.

Important

  • The steering wheel shakes only when you brake? The cause can then be a warped brake disc. Balancing does not fix that.
  • The car pulls to one side? Balancing does not fix that. Then the wheel angles need adjusting, which is wheel alignment.

How we balance the wheels

  1. 1

    You send the number from the tyre sidewall

    Send us the number after R from the tyre sidewall. Or take a photo of the sidewall and send it on WhatsApp. If the car vibrates, also tell us where and at what speed.

  2. 2

    We tell you the price and book a time

    We tell you the price, and agree the time by phone.

    Work starts only when you agree.

  3. 3

    We take the wheel off and check the tyre and the rim

    We take the wheel off the car and look at the tyre and the rim.

    If the rim is damaged after a knock, we tell you before we start.

  4. 4

    We balance the wheel on the machine

    The balancing machine spins the wheel and shows where it is heavier. We put the weights there.

  5. 5

    We check and refit the wheel

    We spin the wheel on the machine again to see that it is balanced. We tighten the bolts crosswise and inflate the tyres to the pressure in your car manual.

Why the car vibrates while driving

When one side of the wheel is heavier, the wheel does not turn evenly and shakes the car. You feel the vibration in the steering wheel, the floor or the seat, often only at some speeds, for example between 80 and 110 km/h. At higher speed it is usually stronger.

A wheel that is not balanced wears the tyre and the suspension parts faster and unevenly, and the car also uses more fuel. So it is better to have the wheel checked and balanced as soon as you feel the vibration.

When wheels are balanced

There is no interval for balancing that applies to every car. A wheel is balanced when the tyre is fitted on the rim, after a puncture repair, after swapping the wheels and after a hard knock, and when the car vibrates. More about tyre changes

Questions

How much does wheel balancing cost?
It depends on the wheel size and the type of rim. We tell you the price when you send the number after R from the tyre sidewall.
Are the rear wheels balanced too?
Yes. A rear wheel that is not balanced also shakes the car and wears the tyre faster.
Do you balance when the tyres are already on rims?
When we only swap wheels that are already on rims, balancing is not always needed. We will tell you whether your wheels need it.
