Frequently asked questions
No, it's not the same.
Alignment involves setting the wheels on each axle in parallel, and the axles parallel to each other, adjusting wheel angles so that the car steering does not drift to one side, as well as ensuring driver comfort and good grip for the tyres, thus guaranteeing safety at the wheel.
Balancing is a mechanical process of adjusting the wheels to prevent vehicle vibration at any speed, no matter what type of driving is used.
The modern car is built for comfort, performance and handling. In order to achieve and maintain the best ride possible, the steering and suspension needs to be measured and adjusted within the motor manufacturer’s specifications. This can only be done by measuring all four wheels and having a proper full four wheel alignment measurement.
Wheel alignment can be affected by hitting the kurb or a large pothole in the road or travelling regularly on gravel roads. If alignment is out, it can cause excessive wear to your tyres and problems with steering or suspension.

"Top class from Franky and the people at Philip Ireland Tyres. Got in the tyres I wanted at a better price than any other garage I could find and accommodated me at a late stage of the day. Highly recommend."
"I needed tyres in a hurry today, Thanks to Frankie for helping me out - 'Safety First' he said, 'If I wouldnt drive on those tyres myself I won't let you'! Always know how to look after thier customers, great value top of the range tyres! Ready for road again!"
"Excellent experience with wheel alignment. Arrived close to EOD to a clearly busy shop after getting suspension work done nearby and a 2h drive home ahead. They managed to squeeze me in and sort out the alignment on a Tesla even though removal of underbody panels needed adds to time it takes. Knowledgeable and happy to talk through what they observe. Much appreciated!"
"Had my car over for alignment with Frankie this evening and he transformed the feel of the car on the road. Great knowledge for aligning a car how you want, and a pure gent to deal with as well."
"First class service. Had major issues with the tracking on my car from a different local tyre retailer. They’d done the tracking twice and messed it up both times to the point the tyres were literally melting off the rear of the car in a few thousand kilometres. Philip’s experienced staff knew straight away what the issue was and sorted it. Provided a full print out of the before and after specs too. The difference in driving it feels night and day. Very professional and friendly. Couldn’t recommend highly enough, I won’t be going anywhere else in future."
"What can I say, excellent prices and service yet again, particular thanks to the legend that is Franky, what an asset to your company. Well done to all, onwards and upwards 👌👏"
"Brilliant company .Can't recommend highly enough I'm a lady who was worried I might need new tyres.Philip Ireland put my mind at ease straight away and said I didn't. I will be returning to this company in Kilkenny again.Quick service ,very genuine in my opinion and a great friendly attitude ."
