The tires will last longer, the vehicle will ride more smoothly and quietly, and the trip will be safer for your passengers and other vehicles on the road. Follow the guidelines and your tires will sing hymns of praise and gratitude to you. You can do some tire maintenance yourself, but you'll need to take your auto to a decent shop for other work. You'll probably find that prices (and the services included in those prices) vary widely in your area.
