Tire Installation and Balancing
Every installation of a new tire demands balancing the wheels. Re-balancing is also needed, when a tire was demounted for repair. The proper balance for your car improves steering control, traction and increases the life of your new tires. Driving daily on damaged roads could lead to the loss of balancing. But on top of all, no matter how carefully wheels and tires are balanced, in time, they will lose it.
How do you know if you need to install new tires?
The Lincoln coin method is the best to check if the tread depth is the right one or it doesn’t fit the normal conditions. It’s easy and you don’t need to be a specialist to do that. You can do it in front of your home. Analyze the tire and choose the part that you think it’s most damaged, take the penny and insert it into the tread, with Lincoln’s head down. If the tread passes the head, then the tires are still OK. There are also other possibilities of knowing if your car needs new tires, like visible bulges or blisters. Remember that is very dangerous to drive in such conditions. The tire of the vehicle may blow out.
Without a proper wheel balance, you have to know that you might be in danger. On snowy weather or when you want to break, the car may not respond to your maneuvers or commands. You can recognize very easy if the vehicle is not balanced properly, because it creates a typical vibration which, on higher speeds, gets worst.
