Wheel alignment is not required when installing new tires. Wheel alignment is a maintenance procedure that involves adjusting the geometric angles of tire steering and suspension components to ensure tight contact between the tires and the ground. Steps for replacing new tires: 1. Use a jack to lift the vehicle to a certain height; 2. Remove the screws and take off the old tires; 3. Install the new tires and lower the jack. Situations that require wheel alignment: 1. Replacement or repair of shock absorbers or steering system; 2. Frequent driving on roads and rapid crossing of speed bumps; 3. The vehicle has been involved in a collision, or exhibits issues such as drifting, reduced steering precision, or misaligned steering wheel; 4. The vehicle drifts during driving; 5. Obvious wear on car tires; 6. Replacement of chassis or suspension components.
