Should I Have an Alignment Performed When I Install New Tires?

Should I Have an Alignment Performed When I Install New Tires?

When it comes to vehicle maintenance, some services are more popular than others.

Wheel alignment is a maintenance service that tends to be overshadowed (in a study on the most neglected automotive maintenance services, wheel alignment came in at #2), yet it plays an important role in tire longevity, vehicle safety, and overall driving performance. That's why, outside of the recommendation to get routine alignment inspections, you may have heard that it's a good idea to have your wheel alignment corrected when installing new tires.

It's a valid recommendation.

There are several reasons to have an alignment performed when you purchase new tires:

  1. Ensuring Even Tire Wear: Wheel alignment is essential for the even wear of your new tires. Misalignment can lead to premature and uneven tire wear, such as feathering or cupping, which compromises the lifespan of the tires and can affect the smoothness of your ride. By aligning your wheels when your new tires are installed, you're making sure the tires maintain optimal contact with the road and wear evenly across the tread pattern. This not only extends the life of your tires but also maintains the performance and safety of your vehicle. In other words, correcting the alignment at this time gives your new tires the best start to deliver on their advertised mileage.

  2. Saving Time: Combining services during your visit is a smart way to save time. By having an alignment performed at the same time as your new tire installation, you eliminate the need for a separate appointment in the near future, which would require additional time out of your busy schedule. Streamlining your vehicle maintenance in this way is not only convenient but also efficient, as the alignment can be checked and corrected while the vehicle is already at the shop for the tire installation.

  3. Saving Money: Aligning your wheels during a new tire installation can also lead to cost savings. Reducing the potential for uneven and accelerated tire wear can save you in the long run, because you won't need to replace your tires as frequently. 

  4. Maintaining Tire Warranties: Many tire warranties require that you maintain the vehicle's alignment to keep the warranty valid. By aligning your vehicle when you get new tires, you protect your investment, ensure optimal driving performance, and maintain the highest level of safety on the road.

Aligning your car's wheels after purchasing new tires is similar to laying a solid foundation for a building—it sets the stage for even wear, precise handling, and efficient operation.

The next time you're shopping for new tires, consider getting an alignment in Wilmington, NC with the installation of your new tires at Delaney Tire and Auto.
