An unbalanced Kenilworth wheel typically gives itself away once the bypass opens up beyond Thickthorn. The balancer is brought to Windy Arbour, Whitemoor or a quiet close near Abbey Fields.
Around Talisman Square and Abbey End, Kenilworth traffic moves too slowly to feel a small imbalance. The A46 bypass between Thickthorn and Stoneleigh is different, as are the A452 towards Leamington and Balsall Common and the A429 climbing towards Gibbet Hill. A tremble through the steering there usually means a front wheel; a hum through the seat points to the rear. Tread wears unevenly if it is ignored.
Clipping a roundabout kerb on Leyes Lane, or thumping over a Rounds Hill cushion, is how most Kenilworth wheels shed a weight, and Abbey End's kerbs claim a few more. Balancing is automatic with any fresh tyre and is repeated whenever a puncture patch meant stripping the tyre from its rim. Give the CV8 address, say whether the shake reaches your hands or your seat and when it started, and the price is confirmed before booking.

About wheel balancing nationwide → · Wheel balancing on the Kenilworth page
On a Windy Arbour drive, the fitter jacks the car and clamps each wheel onto the van's balancer. A spin reveals how much weight is needed and where; weights are fixed to the inner rim of an alloy, and a check spin confirms the result before the wheel is torqued back on. A Kenilworth car pulling to one side on the A46 needs alignment, which Rescue Tyres does not do.
