  • Shaking felt through the seat or floor
  • Uneven or “cupped” tyre wear patterns

Tyre Balancing FAQs

Does tyre balancing stop steering vibration?

In many cases, yes — especially if vibration increases with speed. If vibration persists, we may suggest checking tyres or suspension.

When should I balance my wheels?

Commonly after fitting new tyres, after hitting potholes, or if vibration and uneven wear appear.

Is balancing the same as wheel alignment?

No. Balancing reduces vibration. Alignment helps correct tracking and uneven wear patterns.

Can a puncture cause imbalance?

It can if the tyre loses pressure or is damaged. If you suspect a slow leak, see puncture repair in Lowestoft.
