Tires and wheels are aligned and balanced at the factory to provide the longest tire life and best overall performance. Adjustments to wheel alignment and tire balance are not needed on a regular basis. Consider an alignment check if there is unusual tire wear or if the vehicle pulls significantly to one side or the other. Some slight pull to the left or right, depending on road crown and/or other road surface variations, such as dips or ruts, is normal. If the vehicle vibrates while driving on a smooth road, the tires and wheels may need to be balanced. See your dealer for proper diagnosis.
