Why Should I Have My Vehicle’s Tires Balanced and Rotated?

Why Should I Balance and Rotate My Alfa Romeo’s Tires?

The tires on your Alfa Romeo not only get you where you are going but they also play a role in the safety of you and your passengers.  That is why we recommend keeping your vehicle’s tires in optimal condition with balancing and rotating!  Here are a few reasons why you should get these services done on your Alfa Romeo often.

Benefits of Rotating Your Tires

Have you ever noticed how your tires wear differently?  Depending on if you have a front, rear, or all-wheel drive, your tires will wear at different rates.  Rotating your vehicle’s tires involves moving each tire to a different position to change the wear pattern on that tire.  By doing a tire rotation, you can extend the life of all of your tires.  When you bring your vehicle in for a tire rotation, the mechanic will also visually inspect whether there are other issues such as damage or foreign objects and measure the air pressure to insure it is correct.  These are the overall benefits provided to you by having this service performed!

Benefits of Balancing Your Tires

Weight imbalances can happen with your vehicle’s tires and it’s important to have them rebalanced.  You can even feel when your tires are unbalanced – if you have felt shaking or vibrating in your steering wheel, seat, or floorboard, especially at faster speeds.  If you regularly drive on bumpy or uneven roads, you should have your Alfa Romeo brought in regularly for balancing.  During a tire balancing service, the wheel and tire assembly will be evaluated for imbalance and corrective weights added to ensure perfect balance.
