Tire Balancing
Balancing your tires is important. If overlooked, unbalanced tires can lead to uneven wear, vibration, and potentially unsafe driving conditions. Your local technician at Middle Country Automotive in Selden NY 11784 and Centereach NY 11720 can help determine whether tires need to be rotated and balanced based on wear or mileage.
Getting your tire balanced can mean:

- Efficient tire wear
- Efficient for tire and drive train components
Tire Rotation
Rotating your tires means moving them from one side of the vehicle to the other, moving them from front to back or a combination of both. Regular tire rotation helps avoid uneven tire wear that can lead to poor performance and gas mileage.
Some tires need a rotation at specific intervals, while others will need to be rotated depending on the wear. To find out when your tires need to be rotated, check your vehicle’s owner’s manual or ask Middle Country Automotive.
Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment is the position of your wheels relative to your vehicle. When properly aligned, your wheels will point in the same direction as the vehicle. To maintain proper control of your car, you must keep your wheels in proper alignment. Otherwise, steering will become difficult, your tires will wear unevenly and your fuel economy will decrease. An alignment check at Middle Country Automotive includes:
- Inspection of the steering and suspension components
- Examination of the tires for size, inflation, and wear
- Comparison of your alignment to vehicle manufacturer guidelines
