Kiwi Neutral Newbie April 11, 2003 Share April 11, 2003 I just did my alignment and balancing not too long ago (< 1 mth). Will be changing my tyres soon. Do I need to alignment/balance them after the change? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreammetal Neutral Newbie April 11, 2003 Share April 11, 2003 the people installing ur new trye will balance and alignt for u i guess.. check with them lor..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modeldriver Neutral Newbie April 15, 2003 Share April 15, 2003 Balancing the wheels is a must after you change tyres. Usually the shop will balance them using the machine that they attach the wheel/tyre to - i.e. off body balancing. If you don't balance correctly, when you drive the steering will shake. Alignment is required if you change rims, especially if you change the size e.g. from 15 to 16 to 17 etc. Also if you do any suspension work. Don't stinge on alignment if you feel you need it - uneven wear of your tyres would proof more costly in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgeter 2nd Gear April 16, 2003 Share April 16, 2003 Like the others have mentioned. when you change your tyres, the mechanic will do the balancing for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modeldriver Neutral Newbie April 16, 2003 Share April 16, 2003 Really ? I thought change tyres only need to do balancing, not alignment. Learn new thing everyday. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Neutral Newbie May 9, 2003 Share May 9, 2003 (edited) Yah lah .... change tyre must do alignment like Saaber said. Like me change tyre, steering one sided liaozzz ... but car go straight. Funny right, like macam drive taxi .... Personally, I perfer to align at Ang Mo Kio AUTOPOINT. RIVERVIEW AUTO 4TH FLOOR. Look for this guy (Kenny). Known him for quite awhile .... very good computerised wheel alignment. Also, he is a very honest chap. Tells you like it is. Unlike some shops, KNN, give you some bxxxxxxt problems when there is none. He doesn't push you to do this and that, say your car like this and like that. Service charges also very reasonable. Just tell him Harman driving Green Mazda 323 , last time drive Peugeot recommend, sure price. No worries, I am not commission nor advertising for him. But if I got good contacts .... I recommend to my fellow brothers. Maybe Assasin would like to add him into the Resources Folder. Edited May 9, 2003 by Hitman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgeter 2nd Gear May 9, 2003 Share May 9, 2003 OIC... I normally dun do it.. unless got problem... By the way, manage to get what you wanted? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Neutral Newbie May 9, 2003 Share May 9, 2003 Yep, but didn't go for Kumho ..... got something else. But didn't want the shop to do the alignment so just got back from my alignment at AMK Autopoint. Drive car after changing tyres without alignment, car always want to go left one. Thanks bro Thank you to Saaber also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
