When a car can carry us at high speed, the tires are the only part of the vehicle that touches the ground. It is about safety, so it is vital.

When should I align my tires?

Tire wear is directly related to our daily driving habits and environment, so the actual situation is different for each vehicle. From the point of view of maintenance, a proper alignment will help to extend the life of the tires. In general, every 15,000 kilometers or 20,000 kilometers, the vehicle can be aligned once.

Most vehicles are equipped with four tires that are identical in size and type, so if your car's front and rear wheels are not identical, then an alignment is not recommended.

Why do you need to align your tires?

The majority of vehicles on the market today are front-wheel drives. Due to the front-wheel drive, the front wheels will be under more pressure in acceleration, weight-bearing, braking, and steering than the rear wheels, which will naturally wear out faster and basically shorten the use of the tires by half.

The engine and transmission are in the front of the car, and the gravity on the two front wheels is greater than that on the two rear wheels. As the miles driven increase, the tires will wear unevenly from front to back. Therefore, it is important to change the position of the tires regularly to ensure the safety of the vehicle and to ensure the maximum service life of the tires.

Therefore, in order to prolong the service life of the tires, after a certain mileage of the vehicle, the tires are aligned to equalize the wear and tear of the four wheels.

How to align the tires?

Rear-wheel drive vehicles: turn left front to the right rear, right front to the left rear, left rear to left front, right rear to the right front.

Front-wheel drive vehicles: adjust the left rear to right front, right rear to left front, left front to the left rear, right front to the right rear.

Four-wheel drive vehicles: All the front and rear left and right wheels are cross-tuned, that is, left front to the right rear, right front to left rear, left rear to right front, right rear to left front.
