Why is Wheel Balancing Important?

posted on 4/15/2019 10:43:23 AM
Many in the commercial fleet industry know that underinflated tires are one of the leading causes of fuel inefficiency. But what about the impact of wheel balancing?
 
Some operators are reluctant to commit to wheel balancing because it can add 10 to 15 minutes to the installation time for each tire. But, slowly, the industry is now realizing that wheel balancing can have several significant benefits for both the vehicle and the entire fleet. Let the experienced commercial tire technicians at McGee Commercial Tire & Services in Florida and North Carolina give you some insight into wheel balancing and show why it’s important for your commercial tires.Commercial Tire Wheel Balancing in Florida and North Carolina
 
Balancing improves control
 
Many drivers have noticed that, once their truck’s tires have been balanced, they are able to maintain greater control over the vehicle. Imbalances can contribute to sub-optimal steering performance, and so regaining the balance is the best way to assure complete control over the vehicle on the road.
 
Balancing reduces maintenance requirements
 
Another clear advantage of undertaking wheel balancing on a fleet-wide basis is that it helps to reduce the maintenance requirements for the fleet vehicles. When the vehicle is unbalanced, the vibration can cause damage to lights, bearings, u-joints, and other suspension parts. And this can mean that operators have to undertake significant repair work over time.
 
Balancing can lower costs
 
The focus on achieving ever-lower operating costs means more operators are now, more than ever, concentrating on the performance of their commercial truck tires. And wheel balancing has been shown to not only improve lifetime performance but also improve vehicle efficiency by as much as 2%. It’s important to consult with experts for the latest commercial truck tires to discover more about the value of the balancing process.
