Proper alignment is essential to optimizing tire performance and maximizing its life. Misalignment in the front or rear, improperly operating brakes or shock absorbers, bent wheels, worn bushings and any other mechanical problem can cause uneven and rapid treadwear. Each of these situations should be corrected immediately by your Toyo Tires' dealer.

Front-wheel-drive vehicles and those with independent rear suspensions require special attention, and should be checked periodically.

A bad jolt, such as hitting a pothole, can throw your vehicle out of alignment. Such an impact can also bend the rim, causing a loss of air pressure and damage to your tires with little or no visible evidence present.
