Choosing new tires involves more than size. Consider your driving conditions, loads, and weather.
Regular tire maintenance protects your investment and keeps you safe. Check your tire pressure monthly using a quality tire gauge, and don’t rely solely on your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring system, as these sensors can be inaccurate. Improper inflation causes uneven wear, increased fuel consumption, and potential tire failure.
We recommend rotating your tires every other oil change (about every 6,000 to 8,000 miles) to promote even wear and extend tire life. Visit us at 408 North Court Street, Marion, IL 62959, or call 618-993-2287 to schedule your tire service.
Several symptoms indicate your vehicle needs alignment attention. Catching these signs early prevents excessive tire wear and maintains safe handling characteristics.
Signs of misalignment include:
Choosing new tires involves more than size. Consider your driving conditions, loads, and weather.
You should get a wheel alignment at least once per year under normal driving conditions, or every six months if you drive on gravel or poorly maintained roads. Regular alignments prevent uneven tire wear and maintain safe vehicle handling.
Hitting potholes, curbs, or road debris commonly knocks vehicles out of alignment, along with normal wear on suspension components over time. Driving on rough roads accelerates alignment changes that affect tire wear and handling.
Alignment services prevent further uneven tire wear but cannot reverse damage already done to your tires. Getting your alignment corrected as soon as you notice uneven wear protects your remaining tread and prevents premature tire replacement.
A typical wheel alignment takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your vehicle type and whether any adjustments are difficult to access. Heavy-duty truck alignments with multiple axles may require additional time for thorough measurements and adjustments.
Don’t let misalignment damage your tires or compromise your safety. Whether you drive a family sedan, commercial truck, or heavy-duty semi, Hale’s Automotive has the technology and expertise to deliver precise alignment services that protect your investment.
