- Promotes even tread wear
- Protects suspension components
- Improves fuel efficiency
- Reduces drivetrain stress off-road
Balancing Methods Used- Static Balancing: Corrects vertical imbalance
- Dynamic Balancing: Corrects vertical and horizontal imbalance (most common)
- Road Force Balancing: Simulates real-world conditions; ideal for large or off-road tires
We professionally balance every tire we install.Contact a store near you to schedule Do I Need a Wheel Alignment After Installing New Tires?
Yes. A wheel alignment is strongly recommended after installing new tires. When to Get an Alignment- After mounting new tires
- After installing a lift or leveling kit
- After suspension changes
- After impacts with potholes, curbs, or trail obstacles
Alignment Services- Four-Wheel Alignment (Recommended): Ensures all wheels track properly
- Components Checked: Toe, camber, caster, ride height, and suspension angles
Proper alignment protects your tires and improves handling and control. Contact a store near you to schedule What Tire Pressure Should I Run After Installing New Tires?
Correct tire pressure is essential for safety and tire longevity. Tire Pressure Best Practices- Check tire pressure when tires are cold
- Use the manufacturer-recommended PSI
- Check all tires, including the spare
- Recheck pressure after 50-100 miles on new tires
- Adjust PSI as needed for lifted vehicles or off-road use
Always re-inflate tires to proper pressure after airing down, and ensure TPMS sensors are functioning correctly. |
