Tire Mounting
When mounting wheels & tires we ensure the following checks are made:


 
  • Wheels are not damaged in any way 
  • There is no dirt or oily build up between the hub and the wheel 
  • Lugs are properly torqued 
  • Both tire beads are securely mounted 
  • Improper tire balancing can have adverse effects on your car and your safety. The most common signs of unbalanced tires are vibration and noise problems. These can affect the speed, handling and mileage of your vehicle.

wheels & tires
The definition of balance is the uniform distribution of mass about an axis of rotation, where the center of gravity is in the same location as the center of rotation. In english, that would translate to...A balanced tire is when the mass of the tire, when mounted on its wheel and the car's axle, is uniformly distributed around the axle. Even easier yet, how about...there are no heavy spots.

We use Computerized Hunter Equipment for all aspects of tire services for the quality and safety of your auto tires. 

 

Balanced tires can be the difference between a good or bad driving experience. Some cars (and drivers) are more sensitive to an out of balance tire than others, but no one is happy with a vibration.
