Balancing is a critical step that should be included with the tire change. Balancing keeps vibration down and provides safer handling by making sure the weight is evenly distributed. It allows for even more tread wear. Weights can be added if the tires are somewhat out of balance.
Coats offers wheel-balancing equipment in the same four categories and with the same focus as their tire changers.
Which Coats changer and balancer is needed?The shop type determines which is the most practical choice of machine for your needs. Coats swing arm model for cars, for example, is a logical multi-purpose choice that will service the majority of situations if youre operating a general repair shop. Once youve decided on the appropriate model of tire changer, the corresponding balancer decision will follow suit.
