What are the different types of tire balancing?
There are two types of balancing: dynamic balancing and static balancing. In the dynamic balancing process, the tire is balanced in both the vertical plane (radial, or up and down balance) and the horizontal plane (lateral, or side-to-side balance). The weights are placed on different spots on both the inside and the outside wheel rims.
What should I do if I have a vibration in my tire?
A bad shake or vibration can impact the drivability and overall handling of the vehicle. A basic maintenance check by a qualified mechanic will usually identify the correct source of the problem. If it is a tire and wheel issue, reinstallation, balancing and rotation is the usual corrective action.
What causes vibration in tires at high speeds?
Another cause of a vibration at higher speeds is uneven tread-wear. A tire that has been on a vehicle for a year more, more start to wear more on one side of the tire. This is not the sign of a manufacturing defect.
Why does my steering wheel vibrate at 40 mph?
If your steering wheel begins to vibrate at speeds of 40 mph or more, your tire, wheel and possibly the brake assembly is out of balance. When this happens after miles of trouble free driving, one possible cause is that a wheel weight has come off the wheel since the tires were installed.

What kind of vibration does a car make at 60 mph?
It doesn’t take a lot to be responsible for objectionable vibration at speeds of 60 to 70 mph and aboveany deviation from a truly circular spin is called runout. It can be vertical (up-down) or horizontal (in-out).
There are three main types of tire balancing: 1 Static 2 Dynamic (spin-balancing) 3 Road-force.
