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.

Can a Used Car Use the Previous License Plate?

Whether buying a new car or a used one, you can retain the original license plate as long as three conditions are met simultaneously. The specific conditions are as follows: Timely Application: Within one year after transferring or deregistering the old vehicle, the original license plate is reserved. As long as you apply to the vehicle management office to use the original plate during this period, it can be assigned to the newly purchased vehicle, whether new or used. After one year, the plate will be returned to the selection pool and made available to the public. A prerequisite is that the old vehicle must no longer be in your possession—either transferred to someone else or deregistered. Simply relocating the old vehicle to another region while it remains under your name does not qualify. Original Plate Used for Over One Year: Previously, a license plate had to be used for over three years to be retained, prompting many car owners to wait three years before changing vehicles to keep their plates. Now, retention can be applied for after just one year of use. All Matters Resolved: If there were any road violations or fines associated with the original vehicle, all penalties must be paid, and no unresolved traffic accidents can be pending. Only then can you apply to retain the original license plate number. Otherwise, ownership of the original plate will be forfeited, and it will be reclaimed by the vehicle management office.
