Wheel balancing

What Is Mobile Tyre Fitting?

A comfortable, smooth drive requires a decent tyre. If your wheels aren’t balanced, you can experience constant vibrations in the vehicle or find your tyres are wearing unevenly, resulting in a bumpy ride. East London Tyres offers a professional Wheel Balancing Service right to your home, workplace, or roadside at a location of your choosing across East London and beyond.

By coming to you, we can save you the inconvenience of having to make a trip to the garage. We have the equipment and skills to get you back on the road.

Services

Signs Your Wheels May Need Balancing

  • Wheel wobbling at high speed

  • Wheel shudders while driving

  • Tyres wearing unevenly or more quickly than normal

  • A less comfortable drive

  • More vibrations as you increase your speed

If you’re noticing these symptoms, have your wheels checked to see if this could be the culprit, potentially saving you a new tyre and driving issues.

Smoother Driving

Correctly balanced wheels can help eliminate unnecessary vibrations.

More Even Tyre Wear

With properly balanced wheels, your tyres are more likely to wear evenly when combined with correct inflation and alignment.

Improved Driving Comfort

Vibration can be hard on you when you’re on the road, but when your wheel is properly balanced, your vehicle is easier and more comfortable to drive.

Better Protection for Vehicle Components

An unbalanced wheel causes increased vibration and may stress some parts of your vehicle. A wheel imbalance correction may be beneficial for the life of your wheels, tyres, and suspension components.

Our Mobile Wheel Balancing Process

  • Vehicle Check: Our technician inspects the wheels and tyres for obvious damage and imbalance.

  • Wheel Inspection: The wheel and tyre are checked for uneven weight distribution or other issues.

  • Balancing: The wheel is balanced using the correct balancing equipment and the weights are added where required.

  • Final Check: The wheel is checked again to ensure it is balanced before the service is complete.

FAQS

How much should a wheel balance cost?

The cost of wheel balancing varies depending on your vehicle and how many wheels need attention. At East London Tyres, we offer competitive pricing for our mobile wheel balancing service. Call us on 07966558652 for a quick quote – we come to you, so there’s no garage visit needed.

What is done in wheel balancing?

During wheel balancing, our trained technician inspects your wheels and tyres, checks for uneven weight distribution, and attaches small weights to the wheel where needed. This ensures the weight of your wheel and tyre is evenly distributed around the axle, so it rotates smoothly at all speeds.

How can I check if my wheels are balanced?

The most common signs of unbalanced wheels include vibrations in the steering wheel or seat, wheel wobbling at high speeds, and uneven or faster-than-normal tyre wear. If you notice any of these, it is worth getting a professional check done before the issue worsens.

Can I drive without wheel balancing?

You can, but it is not advisable. Unbalanced wheels cause constant vibrations, uneven tyre wear, and increased stress on your suspension components. Over time this leads to a bumpier ride, reduced tyre life, and potentially costly repairs.

What are the signs of unbalanced wheels?

Key signs include:

  • Wheel wobbling at high speed
  • Shuddering while driving
  • Tyres wearing unevenly or more quickly than normal
  • Increased vibrations as your speed rises
  • A less comfortable or rougher drive than usual
