What
is it?
Essentially, alignment refers to the
way your car's wheels are
positioned. Ideally, your wheels
should be parallel and facing
forward.
What makes Larry's Tire
Center
different?
First, we have invested in the very
best equipment available. 3-D
infrared imaging is the most
reliable way to guarantee consistent
results. Providing tires to our
customers is only
half of what we do; complete tire
service including alignment is
another Larry's Tire Center specialty, and
alignment is always a good idea when
buying new tires. Many dealers do
not invest in this equipment,
choosing to sell tires, but not
service them completely. You won't
need to make a second trip or take a
chance, buy with confidence at
Larry's Tire Center.
When your wheels are properly
aligned, you'll get better gas
mileage, your tires will last
longer, steering will be easier,
your ride will be smoother, and,
most importantly, the drive will be
safer.
How could it go wrong?
Roads get rough
causing some wheels to shift out of
alignment. But more commonly, your
vehicle suspension settles and
changes over time. A proper
alignment should get the vehicle
back within manufacturer's
specifications.
Alignment problems normally result
in one or more of the following
angles being outside acceptable
settings. All of them have negative
effects from pulling the vehicle to
rapid tread wear.
Camber - The amount
of inward or outward tilt measured
at the top of your wheels.
Toe - The amount of
difference measured at the leading
(toe) ends of the front of your
tires when compared with the same
measurement at the trailing edge
(heel) of the front tires. This
measurement is very important in
controlling edge wear.
