Wheel Alignment and Balancing

You cannot mount a 15 inch tire on a 15.5 inch rim.

you can change tire sizes as long as you use the correct size for your rims in this case they are both 15's. However if you have four wheel drive you have to keep all four tires the same for it to work. (change four or change none) if it's two wheel drive keep the axles the same. (Keep the back two the same size and the front two the same size) Also 215-75 is taller make sure you have enough room to steer without hitting the frame.

Rotate your tires regularly every 5,000 miles for the best wear. Rotate at the very least every 10,000 miles.

Yes

yes

Yes they will.

I would say it would have to be a bad CV shaft. If it isn't that, check your inner tie rod ends.

This varies soooo much it's impossible to tell. Size of the tires. Warranty of the tires, brand name,Load range, heat range, just a VERY wide list of variables..Chuck

have it checked every two years or if see wear on inside outside of tires

Mugs 'n' wheels

Wheel balancing weights are made from lead.

No, not as long as normal wear pattern on the old ones.

Every 5000 to 7000 miles. normal driving conditions 5 to 7 rotations for the life of the tires.

It depends on what kind of vehical and tires you have. If you have directional tires they need to be rotated front to back on the same side of the car. 4x4 recomends to cross rotate like the letter x lr to rf/rr to lf etc. It is also important to keep your tires balanced/recomend getting that done on a high speed spin ballancer. That will keep it both in Static and Dynamic(side to side&up and down)balance. Prices differ between places, at sams club it will cost you aprox. $15. Failure to rotate the tires will result in the tires cupping, causing undesirable ride, leading to premature suspension wear.

Keep the shoes on your car happy

Also keep in mind if you have a high performance car the rear or front tires may be wider than the others in which case no rotation is needed.

I find that diagrams are often one of the best ways to show the various trie rotation patterns. There is some great info in the link below

Alignment

anything will will fit with modifications..

At least every 30,000 miles. If you let go of the wheel and your car veeres right or left. If you drive and your car and your steering wheel shakes, its not an alignment you need, you need your tires balanced

Positive is toe in, the front tires point in at the front.
