While applying the brakes stops the wheels of your vehicle from turning, it’s your tires’ grip that makes it stop. Proper wheel alignment helps your vehicle run safely and efficiently. Wheel misalignment makes it off-center, which makes it difficult to steer and causes uneven wear on your tires.

Knowing whether you need a wheel alignment or new tires can be tricky since the signs often look similar. Pulling to one side, an off-center steering wheel, or uneven tire wear usually points to an alignment issue. Cupping, bald spots, or visible damage on the tire itself typically means it’s time for new tires.
Shocks, struts, and suspension are related but not the same thing. Shocks and struts are specific components that absorb bumps and keep your ride smooth and stable. Your suspension is the broader system that connects your wheels to the vehicle, affecting steering and handling overall. When any of these wear out, you’ll notice a bouncy or rough ride, the nose of your vehicle sitting lower, or your car rocking, dipping, or drifting in turns
A vibrating steering wheel is more than an annoyance, it’s your car telling you something needs attention. The cause could be unbalanced tires, an alignment issue, or worn suspension and steering components. Don’t ignore it.
Tires should generally be rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles — roughly every oil change or every other one, depending on your vehicle. Your owner’s manual is the best source of guidance for your specific vehicle. Regular rotations help your tires wear evenly and last longer.
Tire alignment isn’t automatically included with installation, but it’s strongly recommended. New tires perform best and last longer when your wheels are properly aligned.
All-Season tires are versatile and suitable for warm and cool climates, but not recommended for extreme hot or cold weather conditions because of specific rubber components.
Like their name suggests, all-weather tires are versatile and can perform well in a variety of weather conditions and can be severe snow-rated.
With bigger treads than traditional all-season tires, all-terrain tires allow for both on and off-roading capabilities.
Winter tires are manufactured to perform well in snow, ice, sleet and other cold weather conditions. Winter tires are typically soft, with an intricate grooved tread pattern — made for holding compacted snow and creating traction — and are severe snow-rated.
