BALANCING

Have you experienced the car shaking at certain speeds?

This may be because the wheels are no longer in balance. This can wear out tires, wheel suspension, steering balls, suspension balls and shock absorbers which can lead to unforeseen damage and repairs to these components. Unbalanced tires not only lead to poor driving comfort and increased wear, but also to higher fuel consumption and reduced safety. We at Western Bilgummi AS in Drammen and the surrounding area balance your tires.

How do unbalanced tires occur?

Imbalances in the tires can occur after winter storage, that the car has been at rest for a long period of time or that the weights that were on the tire before have fallen off.

Unbalanced tires most often occur when fitting new tires, as tires and rims have irregular differences. When fitting new tires, we at Western Bilgummi AS in Drammen balance your tires, so you do not have to think about whether you can get tires fitted with us.

What is done when balancing tires(balansering)?
When balancing tires, small weights are mounted on the lighter side of the tire, so that the balance is restored. Balancing is a necessary adjustment for tires and rims as there are often differences from tire to tire and rim to rim. This is done by means of a free-standing shaft so that the tire is not in contact with the wall or ground. It is mandatory to balance tires every time the tires on the rim are replaced. The tire will be in balance when the tire and rim have an even weight distributed around the axle.
Have you changed tires yourself or have you had someone change tires for you and experience poor driving comfort or shaking during certain speeds? Western Bilgummi AS is happy to balance the tires for you. We balance your unbalanced wheels, so you can travel safer and more economically in traffic. Welcome to our workshop in Drammen in Ringeriksveien 22 A.
Does the car pull to one side or is there uneven wear on the tires? Then there is a great possibility that the wheel position of the car is skewed. Read more about wheel position here
