Importance of Balanced Tires
Tires that are not properly balanced can cause many issues while driving and can lead to you having to shell out money for new tires much earlier than if they were properly balanced. Tires that are not balanced correctly can cause aggravating vibrations and make it more difficult for you to control your vehicle, therefore making your vehicle less safe to drive. Some shops have electric spin balancers than can help even the tread on your tires and provide you with a much smoother ride overall.
Types of Rotations
There are several different methods that you can use to keep your tires properly rotated such as:
- Straight Rotation
- Five-Tire Rotation
- Six-Tire Rotation (on duallies)
- Modified Cross Rotation
What’s the Value in Maintaining Proper Alignment?
Maintaining proper wheel alignment is important for many reasons. Not only will it save you money in the long run, but it will also provide a more enjoyable, safer ride. If the tires are out of alignment, the tread will wear down unevenly, the longer they are left that way the faster they will wear down and cause you to replace them prematurely. It is a good idea to get your alignment checked during your regular service appointments and it’s always a good idea to use a shop that has the tech that can tell you exactly how your tires are wearing down and the best way to fix them. You can get print-outs of your vehicle’s performance so you can keep the info for your service records.
Benefits of Properly Aligned Tires
When your tires are not rotated at proper times, the tire will wear down unevenly. This will cause your wheels to lose a good grip on the road, making your vehicle less safe. The better your tires grip the road, the more control you have, therefore making you safer than if you didn’t. It also helps with fuel efficiency because there will be less friction between your tire and the road, so your engine won’t have to work as hard. Vibrations from driving with uneven wear can also cause bigger more expensive problems down the road like problems with your suspension from the extra vibrations.
