• Correct front wheel alignment is very important.

• Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and driving comfort.

• Tires must maintain the same direction of rotation throughout their lifetime.

• When replacing tires, the tires with the most tread should be mounted on the rear wheels to reduce the chance of oversteer during hard braking.
