Wheel Alignment

We Offer Wheel Alignment Services

At TOS Tires & Wheels, we know the crucial role your vehicle's alignment plays in vehicle handling and life of your tires. Your car arrives from the manufacturer with a specified alignment, the angles at which your tires and wheels are installed. Changes to these angles may occur over time and from daily driving. An unoptimal alignment may increase the rate of tire wear, result in irregular tire wear, and have an effect on how your vehicle handles. A wheel alignment service can correct misalignment problems and help you achieve longer lasting tires.

TOS Tires & Wheels performs wheel alignments using state-of-the-art equipment for precision and speed. Our locations in Bothell and Marysville serve Bothell, WA, Lynnwood, WA, Mountlake Terrace, WA, and surrounding areas.

Get the Best Life from Your Tires with Proper Alignment

Alignment describes the way the tires and wheels are angled on your vehicle. There are three angles critical to an alignment:

• Toe: Wheels can be toe-in (wears tires on outside) or toe-out (wears tires on inside). Depending on your vehicle, one option will wear tires less than the other. For example, toe-in alignments are performed to compensate for friction that occurs while driving and pushes wheels apart. However, toe-out is the better choice on some vehicles, like many old front-wheel drives, because they were built in a way where the wheels pulled inward.
• Camber: Camber describes how your tires and wheels lean relative to being straight. There are two types of camber, negative and positive. With negative camber, the tire tilts in toward the vehicle. With positive camber, the tire tilts away from the vehicle. Like toe, your ideal camber depends on your vehicle and how you drive it, as well as road conditions. Most vehicles should have some camber to compensate for turns.
• Caster: Caster is the angle between the upper ball joint and the lower ball joint. The angle tilt can be forward (negative caster) or rearward (positive caster) and plays an important role in handling. Incorrect caster requires drivers to exert more effort steering and increases the rate of wear on tires.

Aside from experiencing problems with handling or irregular tire wear, you should request an alignment check whenever you install tires. This way, you can make any necessary corrections at the time of installation to ensure you're in the best position to get the longest life from your purchase.
