For the tires, one of our most commonly used services is tire balancing, which can improve the ride of your Lexus. Here is more information about this service.

What is Tire Balancing?

In the tire balancing service, the tires along with wheels are mounted on a tire balancing machine. The machine spins the tires to measure their static and dynamic balance. Using this computerized machine, the technician manually installs small weights on the wheels to achieve proper tire balance. The weights are small metal pieces that are securely attached to the wheels. After the weights have been added, the technician checks the balance on the tire balancing machine to make sure the tire is properly balanced. Tire balancing should not be confused with a tire rotation or wheel alignment service.

Benefits of Tire Balancing

Tires and wheels have variations through their structure. This variation can cause the tires to suffer from excessive vibration or noise as the tires are not allowed to spin smoothly. This can compromise the handling and ride comfort. Lexus vehicles are renowned for their smooth ride, so it would be a pity to have unbalanced tires causing your Lexus to have poor handling performance and ride comfort.

Service Interval for Tire Balancing

New tires should always get a tire balancing service when they are mounted on the wheels. You should also get regular tire balancing service. Our technicians at Lexus of Calgary can guide you on the ideal tire balancing service interval for your Lexus vehicle. At Lexus of Calgary, we specialize in Lexus vehicles. However, all makes and models are welcome for service. Watch out for strange vibrations in the steering wheel, unusual wear on the tire tread, reduced gas mileage, and worn-on suspension components. These are common signs of tires that need balancing service.
