A wheel balance involves redistributing the weight of your wheels to provide you with a smooth ride, extend the life of the tyre, and increase performance and your vehicles safety. This ensures that your tyres and wheels do not have a heavy spot, which may cause vibration, and premature tyre wear. We believe it’s important to have the perfect wheel balance, so don’t settle for second best – trust Ocean Tyres to bring back the balance!

– If vibration can be felt through your steering wheel and/or at high speeds

– If your tyres are exceptionally noisy

– When you are replacing or rotating your tyres

A wheel alignment measures, adjusts and positions the wheels of your car to ensure the least amount of wear on your tyres and suspension. When correctly set the alignment will ensure greater fuel economy, better handling, your car will be safer to drive and the life of your tyres will be significantly extended.

If your car is pulling to one side, wanders off centre on a straight road and if your steering wheel isn’t straight – After hitting a kerb or driving over a particularly nasty pothole – When you are replacing your tyres.

Not every flat tyre can be repaired. The area where the puncture occurs will determine whether or not the tyre is repairable. If the puncture is confined to the tread area of the tyre a repair can usually be made. However, if the puncture is larger than 6mm, or has a sidewall puncture the tyre cannot be repaired. It is also important to never repair tyres which are worn below the wear indicator located on the tyre.
