Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary When Replacing Rear Tires?

[Ruth]

Replacing rear tires does not require a wheel alignment, but it depends on the specific situation. If the old tires show signs of uneven wear or scalloping, this indicates that the vehicle's wheel alignment data is incorrect, and a wheel alignment is then necessary. Additionally, if the vehicle exhibits steering wheel misalignment or pulls to one side while driving, a wheel alignment is also required. Functions of Wheel Alignment: 1. Maintains stable straight-line driving and light steering; 2. Ensures the steering wheels automatically return to center after turning; 3. Reduces wear on tires and steering components during driving; 4. Maintains the optimal driving angle between tires and the vehicle body, improving grip while ensuring comfort.
