Tire Mounting and Balancing in Calgary

Book Now

WE OFTEN SEE "MOUNT" & "BALANCE" BEING USED INTERCHANGEABLY

So, what’s the difference? Mounting your tires is the heavy lifting. This is where we remove the old tire off of the metal rim, and seal the new tire onto it. When we balance your tires, we spin the wheel on a machine that helps us detect heavy spots. This is the act of fine-tuning, applying small weights to the rim, ensuring the tire spins smoothly, is balanced on all axes and your drive is wobble-free.

Keep in mind: after-market wheels may need a hub ring to properly centre the wheel.

SIGNS IT'S TIME TO GET YOUR TIRES BALANCED

  • You feel a vibration when you hit highway speeds (90-110 km/h)
  • Harmonic resonance: You feel a vibration at a certain speed, but it disappears when you go slower or faster.
  • The edge of the tire tread has scooped out spots, rather than smooth wear.
  • A lead weight on your rim has fallen off.

WHAT KIND OF VIBRATION SHOULD YOU WATCH FOR?

The area of the cabin where you feel the vibration says a lot about where the balance is needed.

Your Steering Wheel Is Shaking

Typically, this indicates that the front tires are out of balance.

Your Seat or Floor Is Vibrating

This indicates that it’s likely the rear tires that are out of balance.

WHEN WE RECOMMEND A TIRE BALANCE

Re-balancing is the key to year-round safe driving

Seasonal swaps and rim impact, such as hitting a curb or pothole, both may call for re-balancing your tires in Calgary. A weight that’s been knocked loose, or impact that could have slightly bent a rim both alter the weight distribution of the tires.

Additionally, tires lose rubber with regular wear and tear! Balancing them roughly every 10,000km helps them last longer.
