what to do about unbalanced tires
Unbalanced tires can create a small hum, a slight shake or a significant vibration that makes driving the vehicle unpleasant. Steering wheel and seat vibration is a frequent sign of unbalanced tires. This type of vibration is distinct and gives information about which tire is unbalanced. When the front tires are unbalanced, the vibration is experienced in the driver's hands through the steering wheel. When the rear tires are unbalanced, passengers feel shaking in the seats. Excessive wear on the tires occurs when the tires are unbalanced. Unbalanced tires cause increased stress on a specific area of the tire. These stresses combine with the uneven motion to cause vibration, which leads to excessive wear and a greater risk of deflation.
