Guideline on Buying Tires Monthly Car Maintenance Can Help Keep Auto Repairs | Page 8

 Tire rotation: Tire rotation also helps elongate the longevity of tires by limiting
uneven wear. Rotation differs for different vehicles but on average, tires should be
rotated between 5,000 and 7,000 miles. Refer to the car’s manual for the right
mileage for your ride.
 Wheel alignment: Wheel alignment is simply the process of maintaining the
required position of the wheels to avoid uneven wear and vibrations when the car is
speeding. Every car has unique wheel alignment settings. When the position goes
out of range, vehicle handling becomes compromised not to mention increased fuel
mileage. You know your wheels are properly aligned when the vehicle stays on a
straight line without pulling on either side. This pulling can be caused by a whole
array of other car problems which is why you should visit your mechanic every
month to check if your tire and your entire vehicle is in perfect condition.
