i had my tires rotated and balanced at DT the day after memeorial day. after that something did not seem right . there was a vibration and thumping and the cRV seemed sluggish. After a while i got tired of it so decided to take it back to DT to have it checked.
I took it to a different DT than i usually go to as i have lost trust in them. when i originally got the tires they balanced them wrong and i had to go back to get it done again.
The DT i went to was great. they check it and put it on a hunter road force machine. they said the balance was all messed up and that a couple of the tires were out of round. guy told they got it the best they could and if there are issue i need new tires.
the hunter seems to have worked as it drive smooth and normal now. What is odd is i seemed to have picked up a couple of MPG according to the dash. even on the highway, in the past i would rarely see it go over 25 MPG. coming back from the DT on the freeway i saw 27.3 .
So does balance affect mpg? can it affect things like acceleration which was an issue after i get the rotate and rebalance?
