Wheel Balancing

Maintaining the tyre balance on your vehicle is critical to receiving satisfactory service from your tyre investment.

Wheel Balancing solves problems with your vehicle pulling, even with the wheels and suspension aligned perfectly. It can also eliminate tyre-related drift and pull issues.

At Tyrepower O'Connor we are constantly searching for better ways to service our clients by keeping up with the latest tyre and wheel technology.

One of the most difficult handling issues to fix is a tyre pull problem. Tyre forces are the most elusive, and until recently, un-measurable conditions leading to pull problems.

Tyre-related pulls are caused by lateral forces in the tyres. Lateral force is the amount of left or right pull force created as the tyre rolls along the road. This condition may cause a vehicle to steer away from straight ahead. These forces cannot be detected during standard wheel balancing offered by our competitors or a wheel alignment service.

This process is performed during the wheel balancing procedure on our Hunter "Road Force Touch Measurement" system, by using this method we can determine the net tyre pull of all four tyres and strategically position them on the vehicle to make it track straight. We find that each and every tyre will have some degree of bias. Pull or drift can be eliminated or minimized using the "StraightTrak" method.

Tyrepower O'Connor are the industry leaders with StraightTrak tyre drift and tyre pull technology...
