Now he has to waste time he doesn’t have to bring the vehicle back in. The tire dealer works on the vehicle and he leaves. The vibration is still there. Another trip to the dealer only to be told they don’t feel the problem. In desperation John decides to live with the vibration.
A few months later there is a clunking noise under the vehicle. Back to the tire store, now he is told he needs a set of struts. After replacing the struts the noise is gone but the vibration is still there. Six-months later there is fluid leaking from under the vehicle. This time the rack and pinion is leaking.
John is out over $2000.00, the vehicle rides badly and rattles, it’s time to trade for a new car. Now John spends $20,000 for a new vehicle.
Many people do not realize that vibrations can quickly destroy expensive components. A tire that is not perfectly round can result in a vibration when it rolls. The suspension tries to absorb the vibration but the constant beating can destroy parts over time.
Preventing problems is far less expensive than repairing them. Two-hundred dollars saved on a cheap set of tires can turn into $2000.00 in repair and worse. This is the reason we should not buy cheap tires.
The overall lowest cost always comes from preventing problems. Properly aligned, properly mounted and properly balanced, a quality tire is by far the least expensive to use.
Out of Round Tires
-Can damage suspension components
-Will vibrate, even though they are balanced
-Wear quickly and ride badly
-Cost far more than quality tires
