WHEEL ALIGNMENT FAQS
Have questions about wheel alignment service at Tires Plus? Here’s what drivers ask most before bringing their vehicle in for service.
Wheel alignments keep your tires positioned correctly, so they contact the road evenly. When a vehicle is misaligned, certain parts of the tire wear down faster than others, which can shorten the tire’s lifespan and require earlier replacement. Proper alignment helps distribute wear evenly.
Most vehicles should have wheel alignment checked around every 6,000 miles or during routine tire service. Schedule an inspection if you notice signs of a wheel alignment problem, like your vehicle pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, and a crooked steering wheel. You can also schedule wheel alignment and tire rotation services together to save time on making multiple repair shop visits.
