Why is tire balancing essential?

Tire balancing is especially important in today’s vehicles, which are being designed to be lighter weight. The heavier weight of older models truly helped smooth out the ride by subduing vibrations before they were felt. Modern tire design is another factor that may lead to balance issues.  Normally, more responsive tires with lower profiles are being used to answer the demand for style and performance. The smallest amount of imbalance can be felt in most modern automobiles.
