Putting air in tires. Scheduling routine tire rotations. Ensuring your tires and wheels are balanced. There's a lot that goes into making sure you get the most mileage from your set. One service not everyone thinks about is an alignment. A wheel alignment refers to how your wheels point. There are three angles that determine their position in relation to your vehicle, and they play a crucial role in tire wear. Through normal wear-and-tear, as well as significant collisions with potholes, it's possible to shift the alignment angles. This can result in faster and irregular tire wear.

That's why it's a good idea to have your alignment checked and a wheel alignment performed, if necessary, before you install new tires. This way, you start off on the right foot. New tires aren't the least expensive part on a vehicle, so it's reasonable to want to get every mile possible.
