π Smooth Around Townβ¦ But Your Car Starts Shaking at 60β70 MPH? π€
Take a good look at this tire.
See those areas where the tread looks like it's being chewed up unevenly?
An out-of-balance wheel and tire can contribute to highway-speed vibration and irregular tire wear.
Think about what happens on a long trip:
That tire isn't vibrating for five minutes.
It's doing it mile after mileβ¦ hour after hour. π³
And that can contribute to wearing out a tire that otherwise still had useful tread left.
So if you've ever wondered:
π βWhy does my steering wheel shake on the highway?β
π βWhy are my tires wearing unevenly?β
π βDo my tires need balancing?β
Don't just turn up the radio and ignore it. π
The cause could be wheel balance, alignment, or a steering/suspension issue β and that's why we check the vehicle instead of guessing.
With Labor Day weekend coming up, now is a good time to get that vibration checked before your road trip.
