Check the wheel alignment once a year, more often if you drive on bumpy roads. Misaligned tires wear out faster and cost you more money in the end because you’ll have to buy tires more often.

Look for a number like 215/70/15 on your car’s current tires. This is the tire’s size. Use that number to shop online to get the best tire discounts. You don’t have to get your tires from the local specialty store.
