Valleyview is 2.1 miles in a straight line from Columbus Tire Shop at 3651 Sullivant Ave. If your car pulls to one side or your new tires wear on one edge, ask about a wheel alignment, because misalignment can wear a fresh set unevenly.
Valleyview drivers asking about tires often have a second question: why do they wear unevenly? The usual answer is alignment. If one edge of a tire is bald while the rest has tread, no amount of rotating will fix it.
Alignment is worth checking whenever you put on new tires, since a bad angle will start wearing the new rubber straight away.
How do I know if I need an alignment, not just tires?
Watch for a steering wheel that sits off-center when you drive straight, or a car that drifts toward the shoulder. Look at the tread: wear on the inner or outer shoulder points to the angles. Ask for a printout of before and after readings so you can see what changed.
Can a tire be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes. A nail hole in the center of the tread can often be patched from the inside. Damage to the sidewall or near the edge of the tread generally means replacement. Ask the technician to show you where the damage is.

Should I get an alignment with new tires?
It is worth asking, especially if the car pulls or the old tires wore unevenly. Alignment protects the new tread from the same wear pattern.
