Professional Wheel Balancing in Cheam & Sutton

Wheel balancing is a vital procedure that should be carried out whenever a tyre is removed from a wheel, fitted to a new wheel, or even when the tyre bead has been broken and refitted.

An incorrectly balanced wheel can cause vibrations through the steering wheel, uneven tyre wear, reduced driving comfort, and instability at motorway speeds, particularly between 60mph and 70mph.

At Cheam Tyres, every wheel is precision balanced using professional equipment to ensure maximum accuracy. The result is a smoother, safer and more comfortable driving experience, helping to extend the life of your tyres and protect your vehicle’s suspension components.

When you leave Cheam Tyres, you can drive away knowing your tyres have been fitted and balanced to the highest professional standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question about wheel balancing? Here are the answers our customers ask most often.

Wheel balancing ensures the weight of your tyre and wheel assembly is distributed evenly around the axle. Over time — or after fitting new or part worn tyres — small imbalances can develop that cause vibration through the steering wheel or seat, accelerate tyre wear, and affect handling. Professional balancing corrects these imbalances and restores a smooth, safe ride.
The most common signs include a vibration through the steering wheel or floor at certain speeds (typically between 50–70 mph), uneven or patchy tyre wear, and a general feeling that the car isn’t riding as smoothly as it should. If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s worth booking a wheel balancing check.
In most cases, wheel balancing takes between 30 and 45 minutes for a full set of four wheels. It’s a quick and straightforward service, and we’ll always give you an accurate time estimate before we begin.
Yes — we strongly recommend wheel balancing any time tyres are fitted, whether they’re brand new tyres, budget tyres, or quality used part worn tyres. Even a small imbalance can cause vibration and premature tyre wear, so balancing immediately after fitting gives your tyres the best possible start.
As a general guide, it’s worth having your wheels checked every 10,000–12,000 miles, or any time you notice vibration or uneven wear. It’s also a good idea after hitting a significant pothole or kerb, as this can knock a wheel out of balance. Our team will advise if anything else needs attention during your visit.
