Wheel balancing [Toyota Corolla E80]

After each installation of new tires, the wheels must be balanced. Balancing is necessary to compensate for uneven distribution of the tire material mass and inaccuracies in its dimensions.

When driving, unbalanced tires cause vibration and yaw of the car. As the speed increases, the steering wheel begins to shake. As a rule, vibration appears in a certain speed range and disappears at speeds below or above this range.

Driving on unbalanced wheels can, over time, cause damage to the joints, steering gear and shock absorbers.

Wheels must be balanced every 20,000 km and after each tire repair, as this leads to a redistribution of tire weight.
