Professional tire changing equipment

Today’s wheels are bigger, tires are lower-profile, and nearly every wheel has a tire pressure sensor inside. Our professional tire changing equipment mounts and dismounts tires without scratching alloy wheels or damaging TPMS sensors.

Road Force balancing: why it’s different

A standard balancer spins the wheel in the air and corrects weight. That’s important, but it can’t see what happens when the tire is carrying the weight of your vehicle. A tire can be perfectly “balanced” and still shake, because of a stiff spot in the tire, a slightly bent rim or a bead that didn’t seat evenly.

Our Hunter Road Force balancer presses a load roller against the spinning tire to simulate the road. It measures how uniformly the tire and wheel roll under load, then shows us exactly what to fix.

Finds hidden vibration

Detects tire uniformity problems, rim runout and bead seating issues a standard balancer misses.

Match mounting

If a tire’s high spot lines up with the rim’s high spot, we rotate the tire on the wheel so they cancel out, for a rounder assembly.

Helps stop pulling

Measures lateral (side) force in tires, which can make a vehicle pull even with a good alignment, so tires can be placed to fix it.

Fewer comebacks

Get it right the first time instead of rebalancing again and again.

New tires? Get an alignment too. A fresh set of tires wears out early on a misaligned vehicle. Learn about alignment.

Common questions

My new tires vibrate at highway speed. What’s wrong?

It could be balance, a tire with a stiff spot, a bent rim, or a worn suspension part. Road Force balancing tests the tire and wheel under load to find out which.

Is Road Force balancing worth it?

If you’ve had a vibration that standard balancing didn’t fix, or you run larger or low-profile tires, it’s the most reliable way to get a smooth ride.

How often should I rotate my tires?

A common recommendation is every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or with every other oil change. Check your owner’s manual for your vehicle.

Do you service tire pressure sensors?

Yes. We service and replace TPMS sensors and can help when the tire pressure light won’t go off.
