Precision wheel balancing at Bush Tyres centres
Article written by Bush TyresIntroducing the Haweka Quick Plate for precision wheelbalancing.
At Bush Tyres we continually strive to offer our customersthe best ways to improve our service and standards, no matter how small thechanges and implementations maybe. It’s for these reasons we have introducedthe Haweka Quick Plate to optimise balancing car wheels.
When balancing a wheel and tyre it’s best to locate the wheel on the balancer in the same way it is fitted on the vehicle. The Haweka QuickPlate enables us to do this by locating the wheel via the wheels stud holes. Mounting the wheel in this way applies equal pressure to the stud holes aswell as locating the wheel on the spigot correctly, therefor optimising the centring of the wheel onthe balancer by mimicking the way the wheel is fitted to the car.
As an added bonus, there is no chance of the face of the wheel beingmarked/damaged, unlike with some conventional methods of wheel balancing where a ‘pressurecup’ attachment is used to push against the face of the wheel to clamp the wheel to the balancer.
We currently have the Hawke Quick Plate at our Pirelli Performance Centres in Horncastle, Spalding and Beverley.
For more information or to have your wheel balanced please give them a call.
Over in our Spalding branch the influence of the far east could be easily felt as two Japanese classics were brought to us from Baileys Prestige and Performance. The first an immaculate Pearl White Nissan R33 GT-R having Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres fitted to a set of new light weight race wheels supplied by our friends over at SR Autosource.
Hoping for some warmer weather this 1985 VW camper van visited our Spalding depot in preparation for the suns return later in the year. The driver chose to have Rapid tyres fitted. This is a great choice of tyre as it offers peace of mind with a full accidental damage guarantee.
The Porsche Carrera GT was already a quick car around the Nürburgring. Can modern tyre technology really make much of a difference to its lap time? Hold onto your hats and delve deeper.
