Tyre Balancing?

[Rip3z]

Ok a few days ago I put on 15's from my standard 13's - I got them all balanced and then got a puncture the same day! So while I took the tyre to get repaired I put my 13 back on- question is, because I swapped it over does it now need to be balanced again?

155/45/13's off 195/50/15's on.

differnet wheel then, so as long as they were balanced once then you can swap as often as you like.

 

[BenR]

are you referring to balancing the original 13's you put back on, or the 15" repaired tyre? :S

 

[Rip3z]

The 15" repaired one.

A reiapred tyre needs to be re-balanced on the wheel.. and it should be done as part of the repair job.

Once your wheels are balanced, they're balanced! So swap as many times as you like, and just be careful not to upset the balancing weights in any way.

Ok I'll ring and ask to see if they rebalanced as part of the repair.

Altho they did repair it for free...

They're still going?

My replacement toyo's have balded off quicker than my head (but hey... 16k does that to them I suppose).
