Dear Robert,

I know youâ€™re supposed to get unbalanced tires fixed, but I donâ€™t understand why. What problems would they cause my 2018 Nissan Rogue?

Thanks,
David

Hi, David!

Youâ€™re supposed to take care of this issue when you notice it, but youâ€™d be surprised how many people donâ€™t. Below are some of the long and short-term problems caused by driving with unbalanced tires.

When your car in good working order, it rides smoothly. But, once your tires become unbalanced, you'll start to notice vibrations throughout the vehicle. This could make your 2018 NissanÂ Rogue hard to control, even on well-maintained roads.

If you leave this problem unchecked, the vibrations will cause excessive wear and tear on your entire wheel assembly. So you could find that you need to replace your shocks or bearings faster than you usually would.

Your tires will also start to wear out unevenly. This issue, combined with the lack of balance, makes your vehicle more susceptible to sudden blowouts. So it won't just hurt your bank account to drive like this, it's outright dangerous.

Thanks for the question, David! Contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you ever need anything else.
