If you're concerned about the tread on your tires, we recommend the “penny test” to check your tread depth. Simply insert a penny into your tire's tread groove with Lincoln's head upside down and facing you. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, your tread depth is less than 2/32 inch and it's time to replace your tires.
Importance of Wheel Alignments
The importance of wheel alignment cannot be overstated. It's a critical aspect of vehicle maintenance that ensures smooth driving and optimal performance.
Here's why:
- Enhances Vehicle Performance: A well-aligned vehicle reduces resistance, which in turn improves your car's performance and fuel efficiency.
- Reduces Tire Wear: Misaligned wheels can lead to uneven tire wear, resulting in frequent tire changes. An aligned vehicle helps prolong your tires' lifespan.
- Improves Handling: Proper alignment provides better handling, giving you more control over your vehicle and making your drive safer.
- Prevents Future Repairs: Regular wheel alignments can help prevent other potential costly repairs related to your vehicle's suspension system.
- Promotes Safety: Last but not least, an aligned vehicle is a safe vehicle. It helps reduce the risk of accidents caused by poor vehicle control or a sudden tire blowout due to excessive wear.
