If not properly balanced you will experience increased vibration and additional stress on your vehicle. When to Check for Tire Balance If you experience a feeling of one area being heavier or lighter than the rest, visit a mechanic where they will attach a balancing weight to the exterior or interior of the wheel to counteract centrifugal forces acting on the heavy areas when the wheel is turning.
