Tire Wear and Wheel Alignment

Everyday you drive your car. Just jump in, and start the engine and go.

Occasionally you will put gas on it and then wash it even.

But how often you get to check your tire wear?

How does it drive? Do you have to fight your steering wheel to drive straight while driving on the freeway?

How about how smooth your car drives along the road? Can you let go your steering wheel for a split second on a flat even road? Does it goes straight?


Wheel alignment and tire balance and tire care is very important. Its like #carshoes! You like your shoes to be clean, in good shape and with good soles.


Well your car shoes need to in good shape!


The tire thread need to be even and have enough depth. #tirepressure is very important.

The tire pressure is very important. Did you know that ambient temperature can fluctuate your tire pressure 3 to 4 psi. And here in #Houston you know how our weather can change of a flip of a dime. #Texasweather is very extreme. So the tires could deflate, and when they deflate, your gas mileage drops, your ability to control can decrease. Try to check your tire pressure to its specification every time you fill up you tank.

The tire specification its located usually by the door jam.

In the tire pressure placard , you can see not only the #tirepressure but also the correct #tiresize for your vehicle and the proper pressure for the location and load of your tires.


Tire balance and wheel alignment come in to place when the the #tires start to wear unevenly. When while driving there is vibration and its not smooth on higher speeds, you might need to balance your tires.


When your vehicle drifts to any direction on a flat road, or if after a small little accident, your vehicle no longer drives straight.


Wheel alignment should be done periodically. Maybe once a year o after an accident. Before a trip, or when you notice that the tires are wearing uneven.


Last time I checked, an affordable new set of tires can run about $400 to $1200 dollars on average.


Save your money and keep safe, enjoy driving your vehicle, its got to feel smooth, drive straight and safe. Check your #carshoes every other fuel fill up.
