• If your car's suspension system is out of alignment, your tires will wear unevenly and you may experience handling problems. Potholes and rough roads can contribute to problems with alignment.
• Front-wheel drive vehicles, and those with independent rear suspension, require alignment of all four wheels.
• Have a tire dealer check your alignment periodically as specified by your vehicle owner's manual or if handling problems develop, such as "pulling."
• Also, have your tire balance checked periodically. An unbalanced tire and wheel assembly may result in irregular wear or vibration.
