Lynx Are Wheel Balancing Specialists
We are equipped with the latest technological innovations in wheel and tyre handling equipment to meet the needs required for both steel and alloy
wheels. Our balancing equipment incorporates state of the art technology offering more than just a wheel balancing service.
Why Your Wheels Need Balancing
When in motion an unbalanced wheel can generate huge forces. These forces aren't even and lead to vibration, which causes premature wear to the suspension system, reduces tyre life and cause enough drag to adversely affect fuel consumption. The grip on the road is also less secure and your braking distance may be lengthened.
Benefits Of Wheel Balancing
Firstly SAFETY. An unbalanced wheel has limited
traction , which decreases the control you have of the vehicle under braking, especially in emergency situations. Excessive vibration.also causes driver fatigue over long journeys.
Eliminates Excessive Tyre Wear
An unbalanced wheel means the tyre takes more punishment. This can shorten its life and cause excessive and uneven wear of the thread. Your tyres will need replacing sooner.
Reduces Fuel Consumption And Running Costs
The extra effort required to rotate the unblanced wheel makes the engine work harder. This takes its toll on fuel consumption and you get fewer miles per gallon. Over the years this adds considerably to your running costs.
Smooth Running
Remember how your car handled when it was brand new? The drive was really smooth with no vibration.Properly balanced wheels restore the
"new car" feeling. It takes out the vibration which spoils the ride on motorway journeys.
How Often Do You Need Wheel Balancing
Certainly when new tyres are fitted. But driving conditions mean that tyres, even the most expensive, don't wear down evenly. Imbalance starts to creep back. You should therefore have your wheels re-balanced every 10-15,000 miles or sooner
if wheel vibration can be felt
Remember at Lynx Auto Centre it doesn't take long, costs very
little and saves you money in the long run.
