you do not have to align your vehicle to balance the tires BUT a balanced tire will still wear if the alignment is not correct
If you are going to get your tires rotated you should also align and balance them. The reason for this is to make sure nothing is out of place. You can get this done at places like AutoZone.
do I have to have two of the same front tires to align it?
This could be due to off balance tires, but shaking usually only occurs when you hit 65-75 mph, unless you have off balance tires and your alignments off. Off balance tires usually cost 10 bucks to balance each tire An alignment averages from 50-75 dollars, depending on how many wheels you align.
Tires out of balance, out of round, or worn out ,front end out of align may have caused this
Sure, you can balance the tires. Any place that sells tires can balance your tires. You cannot rotate the tires as you have already stated they are not the same size. Balance but do not rotate.
Good idea TO DO SO
the same way you align rear tires to a 1999 mustang un screw all the bolts that is connected to the vehicle and then add in the tire then screw it together an done !!!
Take it to a tire shop, and they will spin balance them.
about 25 dollars a tires
If the tires sound out of balance but the car is not shimmying, it could be that the balancing weights fell off one of the wheels. Noisy tires are also tires that have too little air.
YOU CANT BALANCE A FRONT END. YOU CAN ALIGN THE FRONT END OR BALANCE THE TIRES. IF THE CAR PULLS TO ONE SIDE OR STEERING WHEEL NOT CENTERED MAY NEED ALIGN. IF THE CAR SHAKES AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR AFTER HITTING BUMPS MAY NEED WHEELS BALANCED My 300SEL cost $42.00 for a front end alignment.
Makes no difference. A brake job does not require that you balance your tires. You should rotate and balance your tires every 6,500 to 7,500 miles or as noted otherwise in your owners manual.
