Wheel Alignment 101: Maximize Your New Tires' Lifespan | Kunes Auto Group

Published on Jun 13, 2023 by Talia Mushinsky

Congratulations! You've decided it's time to invest in a new set of tires for your vehicle. After thorough research, you've examined the tread depth and noticed some sidewall cracks, validating your decision. However, there's one aspect of tire maintenance that's often overlooked but is essential for optimum performance: wheel alignment. So, let's delve deeper and answer the burning question, "Do I need an alignment with my new tires?"

 

Do New Tires Demand Wheel Alignment?

The straightforward answer is, no, wheel alignment isn't obligatory when installing new tires. But, guess what? It's a smart move. Aligning your wheels assures that all four tires are positioned correctly relative to each other and the road.

 

Why bother? Well, by skipping the alignment process, you might find yourself grappling with a rocky ride, witnessing uneven tire wear prematurely. This accelerated wear could reduce your new tires' lifespan. Even with the variety of affordable tire options available at Kunes Auto Group Service Centers, we understand that you'd prefer to avoid making purchases more often than required.  A wheel alignment offers more mileage from your new set of tires, enhancing their value.
