Are your tyres wearing out faster than they ought to? Do you have shuddering through your steering wheel?
If your wheels are not aligned correctly you may experience:
- Uneven or rapid tyre wear
- Drifting away from a straight line
- A steering wheel that is not at the 12 o’clock position when driving straight.
Wheel alignment is the position of the wheels relative to your car. Alignment also affects fuel mileage and tyre wear. When properly aligned, your wheels point in the right direction. Without proper alignment, the wheels resist your steering commands, as well as each other and your tyres begin to wear unevenly.
(note that incorrect tyre pressure will also cause increased wear and fuel consumption)
You may need to have your wheels balanced and the steering re-aligned.
Your tyres are the only part of your vehicle that make contact with the road and significantly impact the handling, traction, and safety of your vehicle. Keeping your tyres properly inflated and rotating them every 6,000 miles will maximize the lifetime of your tyres and helps to maintain precise handling in all driving conditions.
