Prolong the Length of Your Tires - Another Budget Brakes Tip

Friday, October 8, 2010

When our customers at Budget Brakes come in for a wheel alignment service, it’s amazing to see from a mechanic’s point of view just how worn customer’s tires can get. You might be surprised to hear it’s not through negligence, but instead because of the fact poor wheel alignment means that their tires are getting worn unevenly in parts that you can’t see.

When your wheel alignment is out, it affects more than just the way your car steers. It affects wet weather performance, braking and in fact – it can be pretty dangerous. Every time you go over a large bump in the road or hit a pothole, your wheel alignment can become misadjusted which leads to chaos for your tires.

Imagine that you’ve just bought a new set of tires and it’s raining. You’ve just went over a bump in the road because it was dark, and you notice a slight change in steering, but not significantly. Many of our customers at Budget Brakes simply think it’s nothing – but when they replace their tires in around six months to a year, they’re shocked to see that the inside edge of their tires are worn practically right down to the inner wires!

At Budget brakes, we see this all the time. The fact is that from just $59 you could have saved yourself from having to buy a new set of tires, because poor alignment really can destroy your tires in no time, and no amount of tire swapping will fix it.

If your car is not steering well, then the three things you should always check first are tire inflation, tire wear and finally, wheel alignment. Budget brakes can fix wheel alignment problems, saving you a fortune in new tires later on.
