The Tires + Alignment bundle puts new tires and a four-wheel alignment on one visit. Tires are mounted, balanced, TPMS checked, and lugs torqued, then the car is aligned and you get the printout. It costs less than buying the same jobs separately, and your written estimate shows the exact number before any work.
Why pair new tires with an alignment?
Because the most common tire complaint we hear is new tires wearing out early on one edge. That usually traces back to an alignment that was already off when the tires went on. Skipping the alignment saves a little on day one and costs a set of tires later. This bundle removes that gamble at a lower combined price.
An alignment sets the angles of each wheel (toe, camber, and caster) so the tread meets the road flat. When those angles drift from potholes, curbs, or worn parts, the tire scrubs as it rolls. Fresh tread shows that scrubbing within months. Read more in alignment after new tires.
What happens to the tires in this bundle?
Each tire is checked against your vehicle's size, load index, and speed rating before it is mounted. After mounting, every wheel is balanced so it spins without a shake. The TPMS sensors are checked so the warning light works, and the lug nuts are torqued to spec by hand, not left at whatever the impact gun delivered.
- Size, load, and speed rating confirmed
- Tires mounted and bead seated
- Wheel balance on each position
- TPMS sensor check and reset as needed
- Pressure set to the door placard
- Lugs torqued to specification
Tire choice is yours: Goodyear and other brands in your size. See tire installation for how the install is done.
What does the alignment step include?
The car goes on the alignment rack with sensors on all four wheels. We record the starting angles, adjust what the suspension allows, and record the final angles. You get a printout of both so you can see the change. Then we road-test the car to confirm it tracks straight and the steering wheel sits centered.
If a worn part, such as a tie rod end, keeps the car from holding an alignment, we stop and show you before going further. That part is written as its own line and labeled as needed now. The alignment is not forced onto a car that cannot hold it.
Who is this bundle a good fit for?
It fits anyone buying a full set of tires, and anyone buying two tires on a car that already pulls or shows uneven wear. It is especially useful on crossovers and SUVs with adjustable rear suspension, where a four-wheel alignment matters. If your car tracks straight and your old tires wore evenly, the advisor may tell you the alignment can wait.
Drivers who want to pick the tire count and balancing level themselves can build their own version on the tire and alignment packages page.
What does the Tires + Alignment bundle leave out?
The bundle covers the tires, the install steps, the four-wheel alignment, the printout, and the road test. It does not cover worn steering or suspension parts, replacement TPMS sensors, new valve stems, or wheel repair. When the inspection finds one of these, it becomes its own line with a photo, and you decide before anything changes.
| Outside the bundle | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Tie rod ends, ball joints, bushings | A worn part lets the alignment drift again |
| A failed TPMS sensor | The warning light stays on until it is replaced |
| A bent wheel | Balance weights cannot fix a wheel that is out of round |
| Road force balancing | Added when a shake remains after a standard balance |
Listing these up front keeps the bundle price honest. For a closer look at a pull or crooked steering wheel, read about wheel alignment.
How does the written estimate show the bundle saving?
The estimate lists the bundle as one line and also shows what the same tires and alignment would total as separate jobs. You can compare the two numbers before you approve. The tires, their size and load rating, and the alignment type are all named, so there is no guessing about what the bundle price buys.
- Tire brand, size, load index, and speed rating
- Install steps: mount, balance, TPMS check, lug torque
- Four-wheel alignment with printout
- Bundle price, next to the separate-job total
- Any separate findings, each labeled needed now or can wait
If you change the tire choice, the estimate is rewritten before work. The invoice at pickup matches the version you approved.
How is the bundle priced and how long does it take?
The price depends on your tire size and brand, and on the alignment your vehicle takes. We write the bundle price and the separate-job total on the estimate, so you can see the savings. Timing depends on stock and bay space. When your size is in stock and a bay is open, the work can often be done the same day.
Call (909) 608-7699 with the size printed on your sidewall to check stock, or request a quote.
Needed now versus can wait
Every estimate splits the list so you can decide on your schedule and budget.
Needed now
- Tires at or near the tread limit
- An alignment on a car that pulls or wears one edge
- Replacing a tire with a sidewall bubble or cut
Can wait
- A premium tire line beyond what your driving calls for
- Road force balancing with no vibration present
- Custom wheels at the same visit
