The Relationship Between Tires & Alignment

Alignment directly impacts the wear and tear on your tires. When your wheels are misaligned, certain areas of the tire may bear more weight, causing uneven tire wear. This can lead to premature deterioration, reducing their lifespan of the tires and requiring you to replace them sooner than would have been necessary. Keeping your vehicle in alignment extends the life of your tires, saving you money in the long run. The relationship between tires and wheel alignment is also why it is recommended that you have an alignment check when installing new tires.

Signs I Need a Wheel Alignment Service

Signs of misalignment may include:

• Uneven or rapid tire wear
• Steering wheel vibration or shaking
• Vehicle pulling to one side
• Off-center steering wheel when driving straight
• Squealing tires
• Increased fuel consumption
• Reduced handling and stability

If you notice these signs, your vehicle may require an alignment correction.

Wheel alignment also plays a role in your overall driving experience. When your wheels are properly aligned, your vehicle operates at its best. You may notice improved handling, enhanced steering response, and better stability. Proper alignment means the wheel angles are adjusted so that the tires make optimal contact with the road surface, providing you with better traction and control, especially during cornering or challenging road conditions.

How Misalignment Occurs

Misalignment occurs due to various factors and everyday driving conditions. Common causes include hitting potholes and curbsides that jolt the wheels out of their proper alignment. Over time, the regular wear and tear that comes with driving can also lead to gradual misalignment, as can worn or damaged suspension components, such as ball joints or control arms.

Be aware that misalignment can happen gradually or suddenly, and recognizing the signs that your vehicle is out of alignment allows you to take prompt action.
