- I noticed some tire wear on my car and I am wondering whether a
- 4-wheel alignment will stop the abnormal wearing on the tires from that
- point on.
-
- Some people said that it will help prolonging the life of the tires but
- will not fully fix the problem and those tires will continue to wear off
- abnormally but at a slower rate. It is better off to let it continue to
- wear and put on new tires plus an alignment later on rather than wasting
- money to perform an alignment now. Does it make any sense to anyone out
- there?
