Tires & Wheel Alignment in Fruitland Park, FL
Tires are the only part of the car touching the road. Correct pressure and alignment make them last longer and keep the car predictable in summer downpours.
Signs you need an alignment
- The car pulls left or right on a straight road.
- The steering wheel is off-center when driving straight.
- Tires wear on the inside or outside edge.
- You recently hit a curb or a deep pothole, or had suspension work.
Tire tips for Florida drivers
- Check pressure monthly when the tires are cold. Use the number on the door jamb, not the tire sidewall.
- Watch tread depth. Wet-road grip drops off well before tires are legally worn out, and afternoon storms are common here.
- Look at tire age. Heat and sun age rubber. The DOT code shows the week and year it was made.
Common questions
How often should tires be rotated?
Many manufacturers suggest every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Your owner's manual has the exact interval.
Do new tires need an alignment?
It's not always required, but it's a good idea, especially if the old tires wore unevenly.
