Knowing whether you need to have your tires balanced is an absolute must if you want a smooth driving experience. Key indicators to help you determine if your tires may require balancing, such as feeling noticeable vibrations in the steering wheel or floorboards, especially when driving at specific speeds. It may also be accompanied by a thumping sound. Look out for uneven or quick wear on your tires, which often suggests an imbalance. If your vehicle tends to pull to one side, it’s a strong sign that your tires might be out of balance. At McCoy Tire & Auto Care, our seasoned experts are skilled in quickly identifying and rectifying these balance issues, ensuring your drive is consistently smooth, safe, and enjoyable.
Definitely! Balancing new tires is as crucial as choosing the right ones. It’s not just about mounting them; it’s perfecting their performance. New tires, despite their pristine condition, can have minor imbalances that affect your ride. Ignoring this can lead to vibrations and premature wear. At McCoy Tire & Auto Care, our thorough balancing process ensures each new tire is fine-tuned to your vehicle’s specifications, enhancing ride quality and extending tire life. Don’t risk poor performance or injury — schedule our tire balance service today.
If your tires are relatively new, we recommend having them rotated at the 5,000-mile mark because their deeper tread is more susceptible to uneven wear. For older tires, keep to a tire rotation schedule of 6,000 to 8,000 miles to help ensure all of your tires last longer and wear more evenly. At McCoy Tire & Auto Care, we recommend that you have your tires checked and rotated during your regular oil and filter change appointment.
Both tire alignment and tire rotation services help ensure even tire wear across all four tires, but a tire rotation will not impact the wheel alignment on your vehicle. So, it isn’t imperative to have the alignment adjusted every time you have a tire rotation done. But it’s important to follow the recommended schedule for both tire maintenance services. Not only do they both help extend your tires’ lifespan, but they also help detect any other issues that may be present. For example, if your vehicle’s alignment is off, this can often be seen when a tire rotation is performed.
Wheel alignment and wheel balancing are two different tasks. When we align your tires, we check and adjust the angles of your wheels. This helps your tires last longer and helps your car or truck track straight as you’re driving. Wheel balancing is done to make sure your tire/wheel assemblies are spinning properly, which also contributes to tire life and driving performance.
