Tire Rotation and Alignment Guide
Tire rotation and alignment are easy to mix up, but they do different jobs. Rotation helps tires wear more evenly. Alignment helps the vehicle track properly and can reduce uneven wear caused by suspension or steering angles being out of spec.
Signs You May Need a Rotation
- Uneven tread wear
- It has been a while since the last service
- You want to help extend tire life
Signs You May Need An Alignment
- The steering wheel is off-center
- The car pulls to one side
- You notice unusual tire wear
FAQ
Is Tire Rotation the Same As Alignment?
No. Rotation changes tire position. Alignment adjusts wheel angles.
How Do I Know If My Alignment is Off?
Pulling, uneven wear, or an off-center steering wheel are common signs.
