When a vehicle pulls, vibrates, or wears tires unevenly, the answer is not always just new tires. Alignment, suspension parts, tire balance, tire pressure, and steering components all work together.
Why uneven wear happens
Inside-edge wear, cupping, feathering, or rapid tread loss can point to alignment angles, worn shocks or struts, loose steering parts, or driving on underinflated tires. Replacing tires without addressing the cause can lead to the same wear pattern returning.
Alignment after repairs
Suspension and steering work often affects alignment. If parts are replaced, the vehicle may need alignment service to restore handling and protect the tires.
