How Wheel Alignment Impacts Tyre Safety

When a person is driving, they’re probably not thinking about their wheel’s alignment. However, consider this: if your wheels are not properly aligned, it means your tyres are not pointing in precisely the right direction. You might be steering around a curve or going in a straight line, but your tyres aren’t actually mimicking your steering wheel inputs. This can be a serious issue for tyre safety and should be addressed before it gets out of hand. Here are a couple of reasons why.

Your Tyres will Wear Improperly

The first point we’d like to make is that your tyres are not going to wear properly if your alignment is off. Think about it for a second. If your tyres are cocked at a certain angle or shifted so that one side of the tyre is pushing into the pavement harder than the other, the tyre tread will wear out wrong.

In addition to the tyres wearing improperly, they will also not last as long as they would have if the wheels were properly aligned. If you want to get the most out of your tyres, you need to make sure your wheels are properly aligned.

Wheel Alignment Can Lead to Loss of Traction

Tyre wear is one thing, but wheels that are out of alignment can also have an impact on your car’s performance. If your wheels are out of alignment, it means that your tyres aren’t rolling along perfectly in the direction they’re supposed to. This means the tyre tread can’t function the way it was designed. This could lead to decreased levels of traction or even loss of traction altogether.

If you want to ensure that your car is the safest it can be, you need to have your wheels properly aligned or at least checked on a regular basis.
