Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary When Changing Car Tires?
1 Answers
Replacing tires does not require a wheel alignment. Changing rims and tires only affects the overall wheel balance and has no impact on the suspension. Here are some details about wheel alignment: 1. Replacing rims or tires only alters the wheel's characteristics, requiring only a wheel balance check. Wheel alignment pertains to the suspension's properties, so as long as the tire and rim sizes remain consistent, a wheel alignment is unnecessary. 2. If the car is involved in an accident and the chassis or suspension is severely damaged, this can affect the tires, making a wheel alignment advisable.
