Maximise Tyre Life & Driving Safety
Proper wheel alignment and balancing are essential for smoother driving, even tyre wear, and improved fuel efficiency. Over time, driving on uneven roads, hitting potholes, or everyday wear and tear can throw your wheels out of alignment or cause imbalances, affecting vehicle performance and safety.
At Tiger Wheel & Tyre Botswana, our expert technicians ensure that your wheels are perfectly aligned and balanced for a safer, more comfortable drive.
Wheel Alignment – Why It’s Important
Misaligned wheels don’t roll straight, causing uneven tyre wear and forcing your vehicle to pull to one side. This results in:
- Increased tyre wear, reducing tyre lifespan
- Poor fuel efficiency, as misalignment creates rolling resistance
- Steering issues, requiring constant correction
- Higher risk of mechanical damage to suspension and steering components
Regular wheel alignment ensures your tyres wear evenly, improving vehicle stability and control.
What We Check During Wheel Alignment
Our technicians assess and adjust the following:
- Camber Angle: The tilt of the wheel inwards or outwards in relation to the top of the tyre.
- Toe Angle: The direction the tyres point—either toe-in (pointing towards each other) or toe-out (pointing away).
- Caster Angle: The angle between the pivot line and vertical, which affects steering return after turning.
If you notice your car pulling to one side, uneven tyre wear, or difficulty steering, visit Tiger Wheel & Tyre for an alignment check.
