UNDERSTANDING WHEEL ALIGNMENTS


 Please Read – Important Info Before You Book an Alignment

At Premier Tires & Wheels, we specialize in tires and wheels, but we do not perform wheel alignments on-site. We also do not recommend a specific alignment shop, but we’re happy to help you understand what a proper alignment involves.

🔧 What Is a Wheel Alignment?

A wheel alignment is not part of tire installation or balancing. It’s a mechanical service that adjusts your vehicle’s suspension geometry—not the tires or wheels themselves.

Alignments correct how your wheels sit relative to the steering and suspension system. Proper alignment ensures your tires wear evenly and your vehicle tracks straight and true on the road.

✅ What Does It Do?

  • Corrects camber, caster, and toe angles in your suspension

  • Helps prevent uneven tire wear

  • Improves fuel efficiency and handling

  • Ensures safety and stability, especially at high speeds

⚠️ Don’t Assume It’s Included

Mounting and balancing tires is not the same as a wheel alignment.
 Even brand-new tires will wear prematurely if your alignment is off.

💡 Customer Tips

  • ALWAYS ask for a printout of your alignment results — this should show both before and after measurements.

  • Choose shops that use industry-leading alignment machines:

    • ✅ Hunter HawkEye Elite

    • ✅ John Bean Visualiner

These systems provide the most accurate and detailed alignment readings available today. If you’ve just had tires installed, or notice uneven wear or pulling to one side, it’s a good time to get your alignment checked by a reputable suspension shop.
