Tires and Wheels Alignment

While it's often referred to simply as an "alignment" or "wheel alignment," it's really complex suspension angles that are being measured and a variety of suspension components that are being adjusted. This makes an alignment an important suspension-tuning tool that greatly influences the operation of the vehicle's tires.
Out-of-alignment conditions occur when the suspension and steering systems are not operating at their desired angles. Out-of-alignment conditions are most often caused by spring sag or suspension wear  (ball joints, bushings, etc.)  on an older vehicle. They can also be the result of an impact with a pothole or curb, or a  change in vehicle ride height (lowered or raised) on any vehicle regardless of age.

Incorrect alignment settings will usually result in more rapid tire wear. Therefore, alignment should be checked whenever new tires or suspension components are installed, and any time unusual tire wear patterns appear.  Alignment should also be checked after the vehicle has encountered a major road hazard or curb.

Calculating Approximate Tire Dimensions

Most modern passenger car and light truck tires feature size designations that indicate the tire's dimensions in a combination of metric, mathematical and English systems. While this unusual combination of millimeters, percentages and inches is a byproduct of the evolution of global tire specifications, it also provides the ability to calculate/estimate  basic  tire dimensions.

Example size: 225/45R17

The first three numbers in a typical size (225/45R17) are the tire's indicated section width in millimeters, measured from sidewall to sidewall.
If you are familiar with measurements in inches, the section width in millimeters can be converted into inches by dividing it by 25.4. For example:

225mm / 25.4 = 8.86"

The second pair of numbers (225/45R17) is the tire's aspect ratio or profile. This is a ratio of sidewall height to section width. The section height's measurement can be calculated by multiplying the section width by the aspect ratio. The answer will be the height of one sidewall. For example:

225mm x 0.45 = 101.3mm
8.86" x 0.45 = 3.99"

How To Rotate Tires

The tires on your car are just as important as the car's engine. To make sure you get the  best performance out of your car, you need to take care of the tires. The tires are as responsible for the steering and   braking power as the steering wheel and the braking system. To ensure  you get the best possible  performance out of your tires, you need to rotate  them  about  every five thousand miles. You can rotate the tires of your car yourself at home; there's no need to take your car to the shop and pay an arm and a leg for it.
