Getting your wheels balanced properly matters more than most drivers realise. Incorrectly balanced wheels lead to uneven tyre wear, reduced fuel efficiency and extra strain on your suspension — all of which cost you money over time. Proper balancing distributes the tyre and wheel weight evenly using specialised machines, which removes the vibrations you feel through the steering wheel or floor and gives you smoother, safer driving. When you have new tyres fitted at Memmotts, they’re balanced as part of the job, so you drive away with everything set up correctly and your vehicle performing at its best.

What to watch forSigns you need tyre fitting or balancing
It’s worth booking in for tyre fitting or wheel balancing when you notice any of the following:
- Your tyres are visibly worn, damaged or showing uneven tread wear
- You feel vibrations through the steering wheel or floor at speed
- You’ve recently hit a pothole or kerb
- You’re buying a new set of tyres
- It’s been around 10,000 km since your last balance as routine maintenance
Any of these is a good reason to have your wheels checked. Catching a balance issue early helps your tyres last longer and keeps your driving smooth and safe.

FAQsTyre Fitting & Balancing FAQs
What’s the difference between tyre fitting and wheel balancing?
Tyre fitting is the process of removing your old tyres and securely installing new ones onto your wheels with a correct, airtight seal. Balancing is a separate step that evenly distributes the tyre and wheel weight using specialised machines, so the wheel spins smoothly without vibration. When you have new tyres fitted at Memmotts, they’re balanced as part of the job.
How often should I get my wheels balanced?
As a general rule, around every 10,000 km is a good routine interval. You should also have your wheels balanced whenever you fit new tyres, after hitting a pothole or kerb, or any time you notice vibration through the steering wheel or floor. If your tread is wearing unevenly, that’s another sign it’s worth a check.
Why does wheel balancing matter?
Incorrectly balanced wheels cause uneven tyre wear, reduced fuel efficiency and extra strain on your suspension. Proper balancing removes the vibrations you feel while driving and gives you smoother, safer travel — and it helps your tyres and vehicle last longer.
Do you fit and balance tyres for European vehicles?
Yes. We look after all makes and models and have a particular specialty in European vehicles. Our team fits and balances tyres using specialised, computerised machines for accuracy, so your vehicle is set up correctly regardless of what you drive.
