Get a smoother ride from tires that still shake after balancing with tire truing in Melbourne, Florida. Truing removes a very thin layer of tread so the tire runs round. Cruisin Gold has served Brevard County drivers since 1993, and our ASE-certified technicians work on cars, trucks, SUVs and Jeeps. Call (321) 676-0023 or contact us to schedule a visit.
Tire Truing Services
A tire is never perfectly round straight out of the mold. Small high and low spots in the tread, called runout, can make it hop as it rolls. Common services for a vibration include:
- Tire truing
- Tire and wheel balancing
- Tire and wheel inspection
- Vibration diagnosis
Signs a tire may be out of round include a shake that remains after balancing, a tire that visibly hops when it spins, a vibration that began right after new tires were mounted and cupped wear. These can also come from bent wheels, worn suspension parts or brake problems.

Tire Truing That Fits Your Vehicle and How You Drive
Tire size changes how much a small flaw matters. We help drivers with:
Daily Drivers and New Tires
A slight shake on a passenger car is easy to ignore, but it can wear tires and suspension parts over time.
Lifted Trucks and Jeeps
Bigger, heavier tires magnify small flaws. A tire that is unnoticeable on a small car can shake a lifted truck or Jeep. If you recently added tires or a lift kit, tell us so the whole setup can be checked.
Off-Road and Mud-Terrain Tires
Large, aggressive tread patterns are more sensitive to runout. A shake that stays after balancing is worth checking.
Florida Driving Conditions
Long highway drives make a small shake easy to feel. Potholes and curbs can also bend a wheel, which truing cannot correct.
Professional Tire Truing
Truing and tire balancing are different. Balancing offsets heavy spots with small weights, while truing changes the shape of the tire itself. Wheel alignment is a third, separate service that sets the wheel angles. Here is what to expect:
- Tell us what you notice: when the shake starts, at what speed and whether it began after new tires.
- A technician inspects your tires and wheels.
- We explain what we found in plain language, including what needs attention now and what can wait.
- You decide how to proceed.
Truing removes some tread, so it cannot fix internal damage such as a separated belt or a sidewall bulge. If a tire cannot be corrected, tire installation may make more sense.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my truck still shake after the tires were balanced?
Balancing corrects uneven weight, but it cannot fix a tire that is out of round. If the tread runs high or low as the tire rolls, the vibration can stay even with a perfect balance. A bent wheel or worn suspension part can cause the same symptom, so a technician should check before deciding whether truing will help.
Does tire truing remove tread?
Yes, a small amount. Truing shaves a thin layer from the tread surface to remove high spots. A technician will check that the tire has enough tread left to be a good candidate before doing the work.
Can any tire be trued?
Not every tire is a candidate. A tire with internal damage, a bulge, or very little tread left is usually better replaced. A technician can inspect the tire and tell you whether truing makes sense for it.
Do I need balancing after tire truing?
Yes. Changing the shape of the tire can change how its weight is distributed, so the tire and wheel are balanced as the last step before going back on the vehicle.
Is tire truing worth it on large off-road tires?
It often can be. Large, heavy tires are more sensitive to small out-of-round spots, and a vibration that stays after balancing is a common reason to have them checked. A technician can road-test the vehicle and tell you whether truing, a different repair or new tires is the better move.
