When installing new tires, they need to be balanced, but due to tire wear or the loss of balance weights attached to the wheel rim, it may be necessary to rebalance. If the tires are not balanced, then they wear out faster, the same applies to the steering and suspension elements. Wheel imbalance is usually accompanied by vibration, especially at a certain speed (usually about 80 km/h). If this vibration is felt only through the steering, then it is likely that only the front wheels need to be balanced. If the entire vehicle vibrates, the rear wheels may be out of balance. Wheel balancing should be carried out in a workshop.
Regularly check the pressure in the tires, which should be cold. Do not adjust tire pressure immediately after a ride, as this will lead to an incorrect result. Control values of pressure in the tires of the front / rear wheels, bar: partial load - 2.3 / 2.0 full load - 2.4 / 2.1

Tire wear is largely affected by the pressure deviation from the control values. Low tire pressure wears out the outer parts of the tread, high pressure contributes to the wear of the middle part of the tread. Uneven wear of the tread is primarily determined by the violation of the installation angles and imbalance of the wheels (pic. 2.27). Tire wear can be affected by driving style: hard braking and accelerating or cornering at high speed lead to rapid tire wear.
