Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary After Changing Tires?

[McGarrett]

It is not mandatory to perform a wheel alignment after changing tires, for the following reasons: 1. Replacing the rims and tires only affects the overall wheel balance and has no impact on the suspension. 2. Changing the rims and tires only alters the properties of the wheels; a wheel balance is sufficient. Wheel alignment is related to the suspension properties, and as long as the dimensions remain consistent, it is not necessary. 3. If the vehicle frequently mounts curbs, quickly passes over speed bumps, exhibits drifting, reduced steering accuracy, an off-center steering wheel, or severe tire wear, and the wheel balance is normal, then inaccurate wheel alignment angles may be the cause, and a wheel alignment should be considered.
