I got new tyres fitted the other week but never had them balanced.

Are you going to all shout at me for being unsafe or is it reallt not that important?

Do i need to rush out to get it done basically?

Thanks in advance

OI GO GET IT DONE, sorry even if it dont shake steering about, it can still nacker you wheel bearings quicker than normal

Okay David i will go get it done.

I need to get my tracking done while i'm there

i think u only need to balance the front wheels or am i totally wrong

Its only the front tyres that got replaced.

but i have weights on my rear so im guessing they have to be balanced too

i got mine balanced but they still shake... stupid kwikfit! or maybe its just the nankangs being rubbish?

Mine shakes really bad over 65 but it did before i got my new tyres. Im guessing thats the tracking though.

If the tracking was out would it fail the mot?

it would if the tracking causes the tyres to wear excessivily on one side or it screws up the wheel bearings

But the tyres would have to be on the car for them to know this wouldnt they?

I used alex's tyres for my mot so the rubbing on my tyres from the tracking being out wouldnt be shown.

thbey could only fail u if the tyres where bald

Okay.

Rite so i better get my tracking done before it wears out more tyres

get them balanced and tracked, another reason to get it tracked so is that your car can drive in a straight line when u take your hands of the steering wheel....to do your hair an make up

Oh i was told that it was meant to go to the left cus i dunno

Mine goes to the left?

it can go either direction, mine goes all over the place, it also depends on the chamber of the road

Mine drives straight when hands of the wheel. My tracking is fine and all 4 wheels were balanced by previous owner.

i'll get that done and see if i can do my hair and make up as drive then

Yep, get the balancing done as it'll make the car uncomfortable to drive at speed and put excess wear on everything. All 4 need to be balaced for a smooth ride.

If your tracking's out, I'd get it done asap as it'll wear out the edges of any new tyres you fit.

Thats whats happened to mine pete.. 2 of the front have been getting bad and bald. So took the option to have tracking done today when with tyre was fitted and to my horror the passenger side was 3cm out or something and the driver side was about +0cm

The monkey boys did ask how on earth this happened, I dunno lol - but I never did a tracking check sinced I owned it.

Best £16 to sort it out, now hands free driving

I've notice that the P6000 feels more grippy and car is pulling abit better as per Goodyears Eagle Tourning - does anyone else had this? If not its me
