    The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tire wear and to ensure that vehicle travel is straight and true (without "pulling" to one side). Alignment angles can ...

    Tire rotation is moving the tires to different car positions, such as front-to-rear, in order to even out the wear, with the objective of extending the life of the tire. [114] Alignment: Wheel alignment helps prevent wear due to rotation in a direction other than the path of the vehicle. When mounted on the vehicle, the wheel and tire may not ...

  4. Caster angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle

    Caster angles over 7 degrees with radial tires are common. Power steering is usually necessary to overcome the jacking effect from the high caster angle. Some front-end alignment calls for different right-side and left-side caster. This is called cross caster, and the difference is called the spread.

  5. Toe (automotive) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toe_(automotive)

    When a wheel is set up to have some camber angle, the interaction between the tire and road surface causes the wheel to tend to want to roll in a curve, as if it were part of a conical surface (camber thrust). This tendency to turn increases the rolling resistance as well as increasing tire wear. A small degree of toe (toe-out for negative ...

  6. Tire maintenance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_maintenance

    Tire maintenance for motor vehicles is based on several factors. The chief reason for tire replacement is friction from moving contact with road surfaces, causing the tread on the outer perimeter of tires to eventually wear away. When the tread depth becomes too shallow, like for example below 3.2 mm (4/32 in), the tire is worn out and should ...

  7. Tire rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_rotation

    Many tire manufacturers say that tire rotation is no longer necessary, except to ensure that best tires are fitted at the rear of the vehicle. [5] In practice this means that when the front tires become worn, the new ones should be fitted to the rear, moving the old rear tires to the front. Best tires on rear of vehicle
