When Do Ford Tyres Need Balancing?

Tyres play a big role in driver and passenger comfort and safety on a Ford. If the wheel alignment is out, or the wheels and tyres are out of balance then it can affect ride comfort and wear on the Ford’s tyres.

If you feel a vibration in the steering wheel or throughout the Ford then it can be due to an imbalance in the wheels and tyres. The vibration is from the tyre skipping across the road or doing a jig because the tyre & wheel isn’t balanced correctly and not rolling as straight as it should. When a Ford needs a tyre balance, certain parts of the tyre can be in contact with the road more than others and working against the tyre tread, which is why you may notice uneven tyre wear. Imbalanced tyres can also lead to an increase in fuel consumption so you may notice the Ford's fuel needle dip down quicker than usual.

The spin balancing method is the most commonly used way to balance tyres on a Ford however there are some less conventional methods that may still be in use. Weights are used to balance the tyre. These weights can vary in size and shape and get hammered or taped onto the Ford’s wheel.

A tyre balance will cost in the tens of dollars up to hundreds depending on how many tyres are being balanced and what Ford they are fitted to. The larger and heavier the tyre then it will generally cost more and take longer however if there is an issue and a wheel is really difficult to balance the tyre fitter might suggest other options.
