To improve a vehicle’s drivability and extend tire life, our facility utilizes the latest technology in wheel balancing in Kingsport, TN.

The following are the components of our tire and wheel balancing services:

Computerized Wheel Balancing

Using the latest in computerized technology, every tire & wheel is balanced using a digital balancer that measures the weights on each side of the tire & wheel assembly, as well as detecting even the slightest imbalance in the tire & wheel assembly.

Dynamic (Spin) Balancing

The tire & wheel assembly is then placed on a dynamic balancer, which spins the tire & wheel assembly at high speeds. This spinning motion allows the technician to feel the vibrations being created by the tire & wheel assembly and determine where the weight should be applied to get the tire & wheel assembly perfectly balanced.

Static Balancing

If only a slight adjustment needed, the technician will perform static balancing. Static balancing involves ensuring the weight of the tire is evenly distributed from one end of the tire to the other. This provides the customer with a smooth, stable ride.

Tire and Rim Inspections

Each tire and rim is visually inspected for damage, uneven wear, or bent rims before balancing.

Final Post-Balance Test

Once the balancing has been completed, the technician verifies that the wheels are properly aligned and functioning correctly to ensure a vibration-free driving experience.
