A technician uses a tire machine to pry the old tire off and then fit the new tire onto the wheel, ensuring an airtight seal is formed at the bead so it can be inflated properly. On sensitive or expensive wheels, shops should use <strong>touchless machines or plastic guards<\/strong> to protect the face and lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tire balancing<\/strong> happens after mounting. A computerized balancer detects tiny weight imbalances, and the tech then attaches small counterweights to ensure smooth operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ask for <strong>dynamic balancing<\/strong> (two-plane) for most cars, not just static.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you still feel a highway shimmy after a normal balance, request <strong>road-force balancing<\/strong>\u2014it measures stiffness variation to fix \u201ccan\u2019t-balance\u201d shakes on low-profile or sensitive setups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s reasonable to ask the shop to aim for <strong>\u22640.25 oz per plane<\/strong> residual imbalance when possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For new tires, <strong>match-mounting<\/strong> (aligning red\/yellow dots with the valve stem or wheel low spot) can reduce the amount of weight needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On painted\/polished wheels, specify <strong>stick-on weights inside the barrel<\/strong>\u2014avoid hammer-on weights on the visible outer lip.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"service\">When do you need this service?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jerry customers may find a need for tire mounting and balancing in the following scenarios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2a24861a wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"border-radius:1.5rem;background-color:#f5f5f5\"><strong>When buying new tires:<\/strong> <br>The #1 reason.
