Why Wheel Alignment Matters After a Tyre Replacement

– A Nug's Auto Haus Brendale Guide

At Nug's Auto Haus in Brendale, we know that replacing worn tyres is a vital part of keeping your vehicle safe and roadworthy. But did you know that fitting new tyres without checking your wheel alignment can quickly lead to problems — including uneven wear, reduced performance, and higher fuel costs?

Let’s break down why wheel alignment is just as important as the new tyres themselves — and why we always recommend it to our Brendale customers.

What is Wheel Alignment?

Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of your vehicle’s wheels to ensure they’re set to the manufacturer's exact specifications. This ensures your tyres sit correctly on the road, improving grip, handling, and wear.

The key alignment angles include:

• Camber – The inward or outward tilt of the tyres when viewed from the front.
• Toe – The direction the tyres point relative to each other.
• Caster – The angle of the steering axis, affecting steering stability.

At Nug’s Auto Haus, we use precise, state-of-the-art equipment to ensure every alignment is done right the first time.

Why You Should Get a Wheel Alignment After Tyre Replacement

1. Protect Your Investment in New Tyres

New tyres can be a significant investment. Without proper alignment, they can wear unevenly — even within a few thousand kilometres. A quick wheel alignment at our Brendale workshop ensures you get the most mileage and performance from your new rubber.

2. Improved Safety and Handling

Misaligned wheels can make your car pull to one side, reduce steering accuracy, and affect how your vehicle responds in sudden manoeuvres. After installing new tyres, we make sure your wheels are properly aligned for maximum control and safety on the road.

3. Better Fuel Efficiency

When wheels are out of alignment, your vehicle has to work harder, leading to increased fuel consumption. Correct alignment helps reduce rolling resistance, saving you money at the pump — especially important with today's fuel prices.

4. Less Wear and Tear on Suspension

Incorrect alignment puts extra strain on components like shocks and steering parts. Over time, this leads to premature wear and potential repairs. At Nug’s Auto Haus, we help you avoid these costs by aligning your wheels after each tyre change.

5. A Smoother, More Comfortable Ride

Feel vibrations or drifting after tyre replacement? That’s a classic sign of poor alignment. Our technicians at Nug's Auto Haus will make sure everything runs smooth and straight — so you enjoy a quieter, more comfortable ride.

When Should You Check Your Wheel Alignment?

While it's essential after tyre replacement, we also recommend wheel alignment if:

• You've recently hit a pothole or curb
• Your vehicle pulls to one side
• Your steering feels loose or off-center
• You notice uneven tyre wear
• It’s been a while since your last alignment check
