Understand the Basics of Misaligned Tires

There are a few things that can cause misaligned tires in even the newest vehicles. Generally, standard wear and tear as you continue mile after mile is one of the bigger causes of tire misalignment. Tire misalignment is an extremely common issue among vehicles and is easily resolved. When caught early enough, you can drastically extend the life of your tires as well as prevent any issues that extreme tire misalignment can cause. Other causes of tire misalignment include:

  • Impact from a pothole, curb, speed bump, or vehicle collision.
  • Vehicle components such as struts or shocks becoming loose or worn
  • Vehicle modifications

Although bumps and holes in the road may be small or of minimal consequence, there is always a chance your vehicle could hit each one just enough to impact the alignment of the tires.

Signs that Your Tires are Misaligned

There are several easy indicators as to whether your tires have fallen out of alignment. If your vehicle experiences any of these symptoms, a likely cause is misaligned tires:

  • Unexplained shaking, vibrations, or bumps
  • uneven tire tread
  • A vibrating steering wheel
  • Inability to drive in a straight line
  • Vehicle Pulling to the left or right

Preventing misaligned tires starts with basic tire care, including consistently checking tire pressure and tire treads, and regular maintenance on your vehicle.

Care For Your Tires at Premier Kia of Carlsbad

Lining up frequent tire realignment services alongside your oil changes can help keep your car safe along the road. When tires are out of alignment, your tires wear unevenly and can wear them out prematurely, only adding the extra cost of replacing your tires more often. As misaligned tires cause uneven wear of your tires, poor tire tread can affect your car’s ability to stop and turn safely, possibly leading to the chance of an accident.

Premier Kia Carlsbad understands the need for every driver to stay safe on the road with regular maintenance checks for their tires. Visit us today for all your tire service needs.
