In the UAE, what you put in your car has to perform like no other environment in the world. From extreme heat to smooth roads and unexpected sand patches, at every turn, your vehicle is put to the test. At Etarat Online, we think that which aspect of car performance and safety that is often ignored is proper wheel balance.
In what ever car you drive, be it a sedan, SUV or high performance sports car, you will see that perfect balance in alloy rims which in turn improves tire contact with the road, reduces vibration, enhances grip, and which in turn gives you a very smooth ride also see how it pairs well with performance tires.
Alloy wheels in the UAE have taken off not only for what they look like but also for the fact that they are lightweight and have better performance in terms of heat dissipation. In places like Dubai, Sharjah or Abu Dhabi, which have very hot roads and put more demand on car components, these features of alloy wheels are very much to the fore.
Unlike what we see with steel rims, for alloy wheels we see a mix of aluminium or magnesium, which in turn makes these wheels lighter and better for handling. But with that precision comes also a higher sensitivity. A small weight imbalance can disrupt your vehicle’s motion and driving comfort.
At Etarat Online, we are focused on precision in each component we produce, which is of great importance to us, especially in high-speed safety and vibration reduction.
Balancing out your alloy wheels is a must as it sees to it that weight is distributed evenly between the tire and the rim. This balance, in turn, reduces shake, improves steering stability, and puts less stress on your tires. If you don’t balance your wheels, you see an uneven rotation, which in turn affects how the car rides and may also lead to long-term issues with your suspension and steering systems.
In the case of performance cars fitted with performance tires, even small imbalances cause great discomfort and risk. At high speeds which these tires are designed for they see greater issues from improper wheel balance. That’s the reason at Etarat Online, we recommend regular checks and timely wheel balancing services.
At Etarat Online’s partner service centres, we use digital machines for wheel balance, which also measure the weight as the tire rotates. When we find out there is an imbalance, we put in small weights to the rim for correction. This process, which in turn promotes equal spin and better contact with the road surface in short it is for a better ride quality and to also increase tire life.
Balancing and alignment are different services. With alignment, we adjust the tire angle to keep it centred, which we don’t do with balancing, which instead looks at the internal weight distribution of the wheel. As a team, balancing and alignment form a total solution for your car’s care, but balance by itself is a very important service, which you will see if you are a frequent high-speed driver.
In the UAE, we see that many drivers ignore the early signs of wheel imbalance. At Etarat Online, we tell our customers to pay attention to these warning signs, which, before they know it, turn into large repair bills. If you are noticing your steering wheel shake at some speeds, an increase in road noise, or wear appearing in just one area of the tire, that is a sure sign that your alloy wheels may be out of balance.
Also, a sign is that your car may feel less stable, and at which time less responsive, in turns or during braking. We note for those who have just put on new tires or hit a pothole or curb recently that getting a wheel balance is very much recommended. We suggest getting a balance check-up also every 10,000 km or after each tire rotation.
Don't dismiss the shakes. Bring your alloy wheels in for a balance at Etarat Online and experience safer, smoother rides.
In the UAE, high-end cars and sports cars are fitted out with performance tyres, which we see as designed for better speed, grip, and precision. These tyres are very delicate and require proper weight balance. Even small imbalances play a role in brake performance, cornering, and, in turn, overall driving safety.
Etarat Online partners with expert technicians who have calibrated special machines to do very precise balancing of these specific tires. We see that proper balancing is what brings out the best in performance tires; it improves handling, reduces rolling resistance and in turn gives you better road contact.
Alloys and performance tyres are an investment in terms of money and performance. We put in proper wheel balance, which in return protects your suspension, improves comfort, and we see to the life of your tires.
Also, a very good way to improve fuel efficiency and at the same time reduce wear on mechanical parts is to get balanced wheels. In the end, balance is also the easiest and most affordable solution for maintaining your car’s health.
Experience better performance and extended tyre wear. At Etarat Online, we provide professional alloy wheel balancing throughout the UAE.
Bumping over potholes, riding out rough roads, or improper tire mounting may change the internal weight distribution of alloy wheels, which in turn causes imbalance.
Eterat Online suggests every 10,000 km, and also when new tires are put on or if you notice the car vibrates.
Yes, indeed, new wheels may also have some imbalance due to manufacturing tolerances, which in turn is best corrected at the time of fitting.
It causes wear out of tires, fuel efficiency to drop, and can also lead to problems with the suspension.
Etarat Online has certified partners in the major cities of Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and beyond at your service for your balance requirements.
