Wheel balancing In Thatcham & Newbury

If you find that your steering 'wobbles' above a certain speeds, this may be a sign that your wheels are not balanced properly. If left unresolved, this can not only be uncomfortable and even dangerous to drive, but will also affect the fuel performance of your vehicle and cause excess wear on other steering components and suspension parts as well.

Sometimes, the vibrations from unbalanced wheels are not evident because of the weight of the vehicle – masking that there is a serious problem. Therefore you should get your wheel balance checked regularly, preferably at a service or when you are having your tyres replaced.

How We Balance Your Wheels

Wheel Balancing is essential so that the tyres rotate without causing any vibrations. This is accomplished by checking for any heavy spots on the wheel and tyre combination and is compensated for by fixing measured weights on the opposite side to where the heavy spot is. You will be surprised at how smooth a car drives after balancing all four wheels!

At Station Tyres and Service Centre in Thatcham, we have the latest state of the art, wheel balancing equipment. The wheel balancing machine rotates your wheels to simulate a driving experience. The machine then examines the exact points where balance counterweights need to be applied.

Rim reseals

For older alloys, a lot of people have problems with tyre deflation. This is most often caused by corrosion along the inner rim. Clients often initially believe that they have a slow puncture or a faulty valve and only discover the true cause after a tyre and/or valve change. At Station Tyres, we offer a service for removing this corrosion and so creating a seal between the tyre and rim.

Tyre/ Wheel change overs

We offer a tyre or alloy wheel swap over service, allowing you to change summer tyres to winter or to just rotate the front ones to the back.
