Why a Wheel Alignment Is Critical for Extending the Life of Your Car’s Tires

Why a Wheel Alignment Is Critical for Extending the Life of Your Car’s Tires

Posted: Sep 09, 2014

There are so many things that can take life off your car’s tires that you can’t do a lot about, but there is one thing you can do to extend their life. By getting a wheel alignment when you get new tires and periodically after that, you give your tires the best chance at performing to the mileage rating set for them.

The reason for this is that when your vehicle’s wheel alignment is off, you are putting extra pressure on the tires while driving, which causes them to wear faster. The tire could essentially be being dragged along to some degree instead of rolling as intended. Another reason is that if the tire is not riding flat on the tread and is instead skewed to the side, the wear will be uneven, causing the tire to become worn faster in one area than the rest of the tire and often not in the area where the tread is designed to handle the road friction. Another cost to you when your wheel alignment is off is that your car does not move as efficiently and will thus use more fuel. If it is severely off, you could find it difficult to handle the car and could have an accident because it doesn’t respond as well as it should.

Hitting curbs, potholes and parking stops can throw off your vehicle’s wheel alignment, so if this has happened recently, it is a good time to have our technicians at Country Town Tire & Auto Service Center check it out for you. The cost for a wheel alignment is far less than needing to purchase new tires sooner than you should have needed to.
