When it comes to driving comfort and safety, wheel balancing is often overlooked—but it plays a crucial role in keeping your vehicle running smoothly. At Velociti Tyres, we take wheel balancing seriously. We don’t just do it—we perfect it. Whether you drive a compact car, SUV, bakkie, or luxury vehicle, our team ensures your wheels are balanced to precision. But what distinguishes our service from the others?
Let’s take you behind the scenes of our process and show you how Velociti Tyres delivers perfect wheel balancing every time.
What does wheel balancing mean, and why does it matter?
Before diving into our approach, it helps to understand why wheel balancing matters. Over time, your tyres wear unevenly, or small weights on the wheel can fall off, causing imbalance. When your wheels are unbalanced, you might feel vibrations through the steering wheel, your tyres may wear faster, and your suspension could take a hit.
In short, unbalanced wheels can lead to:
- Uneven tyre wear
- Poor fuel economy
- Vibration or shaking at certain speeds
- Increased stress on suspension and steering components
That’s why wheel balancing isn’t just a service—it’s a must for your car’s performance and your peace of mind.
The Velociti Tyres Difference
At Velociti Tyres, we don’t believe in shortcuts. Our process is built around precision, professionalism, and the latest technology. Here’s how we make sure every vehicle leaves our shop perfectly balanced:
1. Advanced Digital Wheel Balancing Machines
We invest in high-end, digital wheel balancing machines that offer pinpoint accuracy. These machines detect even the smallest imbalances in your wheel and tyre assembly—far more accurately than traditional methods.
The machine tells us exactly where to place counterweights to restore perfect balance. This eliminates the guesswork and ensures long-lasting results, whether you’re driving at 60km/h or 160km/h.
2. Trained and Certified Tyre Technicians
Technology is only as good as the hands that use it. At Velociti Tyres, our technicians are highly trained and certified in advanced tyre and wheel care. They know what to look for and how to apply weight placements precisely, so you don’t feel a thing when you hit the road.
Our team also performs a visual inspection of your tyres and rims, checking for damage or wear that could affect balance.
3. Precision Weight Placement
We use high-quality weights, applied with care and accuracy. Whether it’s a clip-on weight for steel rims or adhesive weights for alloy wheels, our technicians make sure they’re installed properly and securely. We also ensure that the placement complements the design of your wheels—no ugly spots or unnecessary marks.
4. Balancing Every Tyre, Every Time
Whether you’re replacing one tyre or getting a full set, we balance every tyre fitted. No exceptions. Even brand-new tyres can be slightly off-balance due to manufacturing tolerances. Balancing them ensures you’re starting off with a smooth ride from day one.
5. Customer Satisfaction and Post-Service Support
We don’t just send you off and hope for the best. After the service, our team advises you on proper tyre maintenance and signs to watch for in the future. If you experience any issues, we’re always available to recheck and rebalance—your satisfaction is guaranteed.
