Tire and Alignment Package Options

You build it by answering three questions: how many tires need replacing, what type of alignment your vehicle takes, and whether standard balancing is enough. The advisor looks at your current tread, wear pattern, and drivetrain, then suggests a combination. You can change any choice before you approve the estimate.

1. Tire count: two or four, based on tread depth and drivetrain.
2. Tire choice: Goodyear and other brands that match your size, load index, and speed rating.
3. Alignment type: two-wheel or four-wheel, based on your suspension.
4. Balancing: standard, or road force when a vibration needs extra attention.

If you already know you want the full set with a four-wheel alignment, the tire and alignment bundle is the fixed version with bundle pricing.

Replace two when the other pair still has good tread and your vehicle is front- or rear-wheel drive. Replace four when all tires are worn, or when your vehicle is all-wheel drive and the tread difference between tires is too large. AWD systems can be sensitive to mismatched tread, so we check your manual before recommending two.

When only two go on, the new pair usually goes on the rear axle for stability. The advisor will explain why for your vehicle. For more on choosing tires, see new tires and brands.

A two-wheel alignment adjusts the front wheels only and suits vehicles with a solid rear axle. A four-wheel alignment adjusts both axles and is needed on most cars and crossovers with adjustable rear suspension. Both end with a printout showing the before and after numbers so you can see what changed.

Standard balancing is enough for most tire installs. Road force balancing adds a roller that presses on the tire to find stiff spots that a standard balancer misses. It helps when a vibration remains after a normal balance, or on low-profile tires that are sensitive to small variations. We recommend it when the symptom calls for it.

If you are chasing a shake at highway speed, tell the advisor when you book. It changes which balancing we suggest and how we road-test the car afterward.

The package covers the tires you pick, mounting, balancing, a TPMS check, lug torque, the alignment type your car takes, and the printout. It does not cover worn steering or suspension parts, replacement TPMS sensors, or new valve stems unless you approve them. Worn parts can keep an alignment from holding, so we tell you before we set the angles.

If a loose part turns up on the alignment rack, the technician stops, photographs it, and the advisor calls you. Aligning a car with a worn part wastes your money, because the numbers will not stay put.

Doing the tires and the alignment on one ticket means the car is set up once, driven once, and handed back with both jobs finished. When the alignment is skipped, many drivers are back within a few months with new tires already wearing on an edge, and then they pay for the alignment anyway.

• One check-in: your size, wear pattern, and drivetrain are recorded once.
• One road test: the tech drives the car after both jobs, not after each.
• One printout and one invoice: everything you approved, in one place.

Tell the advisor at booking if the car pulls, the steering wheel sits crooked, or you feel a shake. Those details decide which alignment and balance go into your package.

Same-day installation is possible when your size is in stock and a bay is open. If the tires need to be ordered, we tell you the expected timing and write it on the estimate. Call (909) 608-7699 with your tire size, which is printed on the sidewall, to check before you drive over.

You can wait while the tires are mounted or drop the car off. Either way, we check tire pressure, torque the lugs, check TPMS, and hand you the alignment printout at pickup.
