I just got back from my tire shop..they rebalnced my front 2 tires. They said they had to "turn" one of the tires.

I thought nothing of it...until about 10 minutes later on the way home.

What does this mean?

 

it usually means they shaved the tread for high spots, u know like turning brake rotors exc on edge

 

I thought it meant that they took the tire off the rim, rotate it 180 degrees and put it back on...

 

you are correct....


optimus=.....wtf? wherever you heard that DONT ever go back.....

 

See I heard about the shaving thing..did not know what it is called.

And I also heard from redmaxpa007 that it means turning the tire 180 degrees

I may just call the to see what they did.

My steering does not vibrate at 80 anymore

 

 

What about at 140?

 

bags does not drive that fast...

 

A lot of times people don't even need to have a tire balanced, thye just need to make sure the wheel is seated properly on the hub when locked down.

 

when you say hub.. do you mean the rim? or do you mean the "hub" where it connects to the car?

sorry to ask , just need clarification.. I torqued the wheel down a month ago when I rotated the tires...

that is when I got the shake in the steering wheel. I just thought 1 of my tires needed to be balanced

 

of course not..

Bags, I think he means hub as in where the wheel connects to the car..

 

I'll let you know saturday

heck you should be here
