    Why Balance Matters

    3 Benefits of Tire Balancing

    Smoother Ride

    Imbalanced tires create vibrations especially above 50 mph. Proper balancing eliminates the shake and gives you a comfortable, quiet ride.

    Better Gas Mileage

    Uneven tire wear from imbalanced wheels reduces fuel efficiency. Balancing keeps weight distributed evenly and helps your vehicle run at peak economy.

    Safer Driving

    Unbalanced tires develop bald spots and uneven tread, making steering harder — especially at highway speed on OH-35 or I-675.

    FAQs

    Mount & Balance Q&A

    What is tire balancing and why does it matter?

    Tire balancing evens out weight around the wheel so it spins smoothly. Unbalanced tires cause steering-wheel vibration, uneven wear, and extra stress on suspension parts. Pitt Stop uses a computerized road-force balancer for the most accurate results.

    How often should tires be rebalanced?

    Every 5,000-6,000 miles or any time you feel a new vibration in the steering wheel or seat. Balancing is also included free when you buy tires at Pitt Stop Tire & Auto.

    Will you mount tires I bought somewhere else?

    Yes. Bring in tires you bought online or from another shop and we'll mount, balance, and install them for a flat per-tire fee. Call (937) 352-6616 for the current rate.

    What's the difference between mounting and balancing?

    Mounting is getting the tire onto the rim and sealed. Balancing is adding small weights so the wheel-and-tire assembly spins evenly at highway speeds. You need both every time new tires are installed.
