VW Tire Balancing Procedure

When a technician carries out the tire balancing procedure, a spin balancing machine will be used to examine how weight is distributed between the tires. It's especially important to check how weight is balanced when a vehicle is moving at highway speeds. If it is found that certain portions of the tire are heavier and therefore throwing off the balancing, the technician will place pieces of metal at problem areas to fix this issue. This will ensure a safer and more efficient functioning of a vehicle. It will also prevent problems such as uneven wear on the tires.

Signs Your Volkswagen is Due for Tire Balancing

Drivers may eventually notice some signs that indicate a need for tire balancing service. One of the most common signs that a vehicle's tire balancing is off is a feeling of vibration in the steering wheel. Such vibrations will typically get worse the more the vehicle accelerates. Other signs of balancing issues include irregularities in the way the tread wears out and premature wear on components of the suspension system. If a vehicle's gas mileage goes up without explanation, this could be another indication of tire balancing issues.

When Do I Need to Schedule Wheel Balancing?

You should make an appointment for tire balancing every time you notice any of the signs mentioned above. You should also schedule routine tire balancing periodically. Check your Volkswagen model maintenance schedule to see how often you're supposed to have tire or wheel balancing done. As a general rule, you can expect to need this service around once every two years.
