TIRES ALLIGNMENT

 

Wheel alignments help provide optimal tire wear and vehicle handling

 

During a 4-wheel alignment at a Tire & Service Network location, alignment specialists measure and correct wheel angles so they're set to vehicle manufacturer specifications. They also:

 

  • Ensure proper placement of weight around all tires and rim assemblies

  • Completely inspect steering and suspension systems

  • Adjust wheel angles so they're perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each oth​er.

Wheel alignment services are backed by the Tire & Service Network Limited Warranty.

 

Why is a wheel alignment important for my vehicle?

 

  • Proper wheel alignments can help improve your driver safety, create a smoother ride, and help increase fuel efficiency

  • Alignments could save you hundreds of dollars on replacing tires due to premature treadwear

 

When should I bring my vehicle in for a wheel alignment?

 

Most manufacturers recommend getting a 4-wheel alignment at least once a year. Other times you may need a front-end or 4-wheel alignment include:

 

  • After purchasing a set of new tires

  • After a collision, accident, or hitting a large pothole

  • When replacing suspension or steering parts

  • If you feel your vehicle pulling to one side when driving

  • If your steering feels unstable or you feel a vibration

  • If your tires are wearing unevenly or squeal on turns

TIRES ROTATION 

 

Regular tire rotations help eliminate premature tire wear and could save you hundreds of dollars

 

Rotating your tires means moving them from one side of the vehicle to the other, moving them from front to back, or a combination of both. This helps avoid uneven tire wear, which can lead to poor performance and decreased gas mileage.

 

The experts at any Tire & Service Network location can ensure that your tires are rotated properly. Your tire-rotation service includes:

 

  • Removing tires

  • Inspecting the wear patterns

  • Putting tires back on where they will wear most evenly

  • Resetting the tire-pressure monitors as needed

Why is it important to rotate my tires?

 

  • Tires may wear differently depending on their position on the vehicle, your driving style, and the condition of your suspension

  • Regularly rotating your tires helps evenly distribute tire wear—helping you get the most miles out of your tires while maximizing traction on all four wheels

  • On front-wheel-drive vehicles, front tires tend to wear faster than rear tires due to added pressure/resistance from steering

 

How often should I have my tires rotated?

 

The experts at Tire & Service Network locations consider regular tire rotations as basic tire maintenance and recommends you get your tires rotated every 3,000 mi–6,000 mi (5,000 km–10,000 km).

TIRES INSTALLATION AND BALANCING

 

New and seasonal tire installations performed by the experts at Tire & Service Network locations include, among other things:

 

  • Removal of the wheels

  • Removal of the old tires from the wheels

  • Inspection of lug nuts and wheels

  • Installation of new valve stems as needed

  • Mounting and sealing the new or seasonal tires

  • Inflating and balancing each tire

  • Replacing the wheels on your vehicle with the new or seasonal tires on them

TIRES REPAIR

 

To help ensure your safety, make sure to properly inspect and repair a tire that has deflated or been punctured

 

When you visit the certified experts and technicians at Tire & Service Network locationsfor a tire repair, your service will include:

  • Dismounting and inspection of the tire to determine the cause of the inflation pressure loss and whether or not it can be repaired

  • Flat tire repair

  • Repairs performed in accordance with strict industry standards

  • Proper plugging and patching from the inside of the tire if suitable for repair

  • Rebalancing of tire & wheel assembly

  • Reactivating of tire pressure monitoring system (if applicable)

Why is it important to have my tires properly repaired?

 

If you’re driving on a tire that continuously loses air or has a puncture, it is very important to your safety and vehicle’s performance to have it inspected immediately. A service professional should inspect the tire inside and out to determine whether it can be repaired or needs to be replaced. Tire repair services may help:

  • Properly repair punctures in the tread

  • Prevent further tire damage

  • Maintain tire air pressure at manufacturer recommended levels

How often should I inspect my tires?

 

You should inspect your tires regularly (at least once a month) for excessive or irregular tread wear, scrapes, snags, cuts, bulges, cracks, impact damage, punctures, stones or other debris embedded in the tread, or other damages. If any of these conditions are present, or if you are experiencing continuous pressure loss, the tire should be dismounted and inspected for damage on the inside and to determine if a repair can be made.
