When you think about services related to tires, a few come to mind. Tire inflation is a given. You need to make sure your tires are properly inflated to improve their longevity and performance (as well as reduce the risk of punctures). Tire rotation is another. Rotating tire regularly ensures they wear at an even rate. It's also a requirement for most tire manufacturer warranties and even some factory ones. Ensuring each tire and wheel is balanced is a third. The vibrations that can occur with imbalances can be a real headache. All in all, these are all common services to think about when someone asks about tire care.

However, there's another that you won't want to overlook.

That's right, it's the wheel alignment.

When technicians talk about alignment, they are referring to how your wheels point in relation to three angles. The reason motorists sometimes need an alignment is because these angles can be altered through normal wear-and-tear and time. They may also shift if you hit a pot hole hard. When a vehicle is out of alignment, it can cause the tires to wear faster or produce irregular wear.

It's recommended you have your alignment checked and a wheel alignment performed, especially before installing tires. After all, you want to get the most miles from your tires, so you need to make sure they start with the advantage of being installed on a vehicle that is in alignment.
