European wheels, especially those on high-performance models, often require specialized tools and techniques for proper mounting and balancing. Many European cars are equipped with low-profile tires and larger wheel diameters, which can be more difficult to handle than standard wheels.
Many BMW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles are equipped with run-flat tires, which allow you to continue driving even after a puncture. Mounting run-flat tires requires special equipment and expertise to avoid damaging the stiff sidewalls during installation. At Wolfpen in Roswell, Georgia, this is why we use the Hunter Revolution and Walkaway system with its “touchless” mounting system.
High-performance wheels, such as those found on Porsche and Audi RS models, require precision balancing to ensure smooth operation at high speeds. Improper balancing can lead to vibrations, uneven tire wear, and reduced performance. This is why Wolfpen uses the Hunter Roadforce Elite balancing system.
Only professional shops with the right equipment and training can ensure that the tires are mounted and balanced to factory specifications, preserving the vehicle's performance and safety.
