Q: Why do I need to get my wheels aligned?
A: Proper wheel alignment is important if you wish to extend the life of your tires. If your vehicle is misaligned, it can cause your tires to wear unevenly and you may notice handling problems such as pulling or abnormal vibration.
Q: Is it necessary to rotate my tires?
A: Yes, and it is very important to have your tired rotated per the Nissan maintenance schedule and pattern. This ensures uniform wear for all tires. Each tire performs different tasks (steering in front vs rear-wheel drive), making tires wear at different rates. This will extend the life of your tires and can reduce the risk of tire failure.
Q: When do I know it is time to replace my tires?
A: You need new tires when the tread wear indicators (called wear bars) appear. Wear bars look like narrow strips of smooth rubber across the tread. If you can see three or more tread wear indicators, you should replace your tires. If you have a way to measure your tire, anything below 4/32 of an inch you should start looking to replace your tires. Other ways to know when to replace your tires include cord or fabric showing through the rubber, cracks or cuts in the tread or sidewall deep enough to show cord or fabric, bulges or splits in the tire and punctures or damage that cannot be repaired correctly.
