Is a Four-Wheel Alignment Necessary After Replacing All Four Tires?
1 Answers
Replacing all four tires does not require a four-wheel alignment, but a wheel balance is necessary. Changing tires or repairing a tire only involves removing and reinstalling the tire from the wheel hub, which does not necessitate a four-wheel alignment. A four-wheel alignment is only required when the vehicle experiences issues such as pulling to one side, severe uneven tire wear, or tire cupping. Four-wheel alignment is based on the vehicle's four-wheel parameters and involves adjustments to ensure optimal driving performance and reliability. Benefits of a four-wheel alignment include: 1. Ensuring straight-line stability; 2. Enhancing driving comfort; 3. Extending tire lifespan; 4. Improving driving safety; 5. Reducing wear on suspension components; 6. Balancing improved traction with comfort.
