It's estimated that 70-80 percent of heavy duty commercial vehicles on the road today are in need of a truck alignment. That means excessive, uneven tire wear, and since fuel and tires are the two biggest operating expenses for commercial haulers, that extra wear adds up quickly to eat away at a company's bottom line. If you're hearing drivers report trucks pulling to one side or seeing uneven tread wear patterns on your truck tires, it may be time to come on in to Great Western Tire for a tire alignment.

Wheel Alignment in Scott City, KS, Colby, KS and Sterling, CO

Class-8 trucks have tandem drive axles, meaning that the front end is only doing part of the job. While the front tires do the turning and absorb the side forces that go along with negotiating a turn, it's important that the drive axles be properly in line as well. If the drive axles are even slightly misaligned, they can cause a "thrust" angle or "scrub" angle problem, either pushing the vehicle away from the centerline or trying to turn the vehicle. In either case, the drive axles are working against the steering tires. This, in turn, accelerates wear on the front tires, fatigues the driver from trying to keep the truck straight and causes the truck to use more fuel. Misaligned trailer axles can cause the same thrust or scrub issues for 18-wheelers.
