| ![]() Sometimes you may not notice an alignment issue until it's too late. Specially considering your driving over rough roads, I would recommend you get the alignment checked at your preferred workshop or alignment centre. |

| ![]() Hello Everyone, I am facing this issue for past 6 months which had to be ignored due to Covid thing. My father changed the stock steel rims on our Dzire vxi with used Ritz alloys (tyres are Bridgestone turanza er60 185/70 R14). These alloys really look good on the car and we got a pretty decent deal on them too. But since then, whenever we are on the highway, the steering wheel starts vibrating post 90km/h and the vibrations keep on increasing from there onwards. I can confirm that wheels are perfectly suited for the car both mechanically and functionally. I wanted to know what might be off? Whether it is alignment or wheel balancing? The thing is, my father feels that wheel weights are some sort of scam, so it may be difficult to convince him to go for wheel balancing... can this be sorted by correcting alignment? |

Even small shops have digital display balancing machine, you can check the values there yourself, don't think their machines lie ![]() | |

| ![]() Thanks for your quick reply, I guess I'll have to convince him now, otherwise the wheels will eat up the tyres. |

Useful posts, quick follow up questions though, This is my first car with inbuilt TPMS and my SA was giving me (what I think is gyaan) on how WA / WB should not be done outside as they are sensitive (the TMPS sensors) and it can be damaged easily etc etc. Is this true? | |

| ![]() Hi, Maybe this question is asked before, but iam not able to find it. So Iam asking here. Whenever we take the car to swap the stock tyres to a same sized better ones for comfort/refinement, is it is necessary to do both WB and WA if the vehicle is new and has run less than a 100 kms since delivery? Thanks, Thiru. |

It's also a good idea to check the wheel alignment. Off late, I have noticed a lot of brand new vehicles being mis-aligned. | ||

We all would like to know whether the balancing was out or not after mounting new tires. If the reading did show out of tolerance, by how much gms. | |
