Wheel & Tyre Services - Wheel Balancing, Alignment & Repairs

Balancing

Properly balanced tyres and wheels spin with all their weight distributed equally. Unbalanced tyres can result in a vehicle's "shimmying" (shaking from side to side) and "tramping" (hopping up and down). When your tyres are fitted, balancing should be part of the installation procedure.

 

Alignment

Proper alignment ensures that all wheels on a vehicle are pointed in the optimum direction to the road and each other. Tyres on a misaligned vehicle degrade handling and don't wear equally, reducing their tread life. A qualified Tiger Wheel & Tyre alignment technician can test your vehicle's alignment.


Rotation

The purpose of regularly rotating tyres is to achieve more uniform wear on each tyre. If no period is specified in your owners manual, then the tyres should be rotated every 12,000 km.


Punctures & Repairs

If any tyre sustains a puncture, have the tyre inspected internally at any Tiger Wheel & Tyre for possible damage that may have occurred. Plug-only repairs done on-the-wheel are considered improper and therefore, not recommended. Such repairs are not reliable and may cause further damage to the tyre.
