Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary When Replacing New Tires?
1 Answers
Wheel alignment is not necessary when replacing new tires. It is only required when the vehicle experiences steering pull, severe tire wear, or uneven tire wear. After replacing tires or rims, repairing tires, experiencing significant wheel impacts, or losing balance weights due to bumps, a wheel balance is needed. Unlike regular maintenance, wheel alignment is a repair procedure and should not be performed unless there is an issue. Wheel alignment involves adjusting the rear camber, kingpin inclination, front wheel camber, front toe, and rear toe based on the vehicle's four tires to achieve a relatively balanced state, improving driving stability.
