Tire alignment
Tire alignment is a process in which the car's tires are calibrated and adjusted to their original condition and to the specifications required by the car manufacturer so that they run efficiently and without problems on the road, in addition to ensuring even wear on all tires.
The car is placed on a special alignment device, and special reflectors are installed on the tires to reflect the laser from the inspection device to measure the internal, external, front, or rear deviation of the tires, after entering your car model and year of manufacture to match the readings with the manufacturer's specifications.
The alignment device reads three basic angles in the tires to ensure the best possible performance within the company's standards, which are: the forward and rearward tilt angle (Caster), the inner and outer convergence angle (Toe), and the inward or outward tilt angle (Camber).

The caster angle is the forward or backward tilt of the steering axis in the front wheels, and the tilt can be observed from the side of the car. This angle is very important as it affects balance while driving and steering stability. The toe angle is the direction of the tires in relation to each other when viewed from above, and it affects the distribution of tire wear.
The inner and outer camber angles are very important for maintaining the stability of the car on the road, especially on fast corners, and are often used in the world of tuning and racing, especially in drifting.

Benefits of tire alignment
The benefits of tire alignment in cars are:
Ensures even wear
Alignment ensures even wear on all tires, whether on the inner and outer edges or even the middle, and significantly extends their life; because if their measurements are wrong, whether in camber or caster, their edges will not be in proper contact with the road, this will damage them and force you to replace them sooner than normal.
Ensures better control
Proper alignment ensures better control of the car in terms of steering accuracy, handling, and stability on the road, as it connects to the road efficiently and with excellent distribution, making driving more accurate and safer, especially in emergency driving situations, sudden braking, and in harsh conditions such as rain and snow.
Ensures straight driving
One of the signs that your car needs immediate alignment is that it veers to the right or left when driving straight, especially at high speeds. You can feel the car veering when you let go of the steering wheel or even when you are holding it, because the tires are uneven on the road and start pulling the car to one side.

Maintain fuel consumption
Owners of cars with misaligned tires suffer from higher than normal or previous fuel consumption. This is because incorrect alignment, which occurs over time or after repairs to the car, will cause the tires to contact the road incorrectly and at incorrect angles, which will undoubtedly increase fuel consumption.
Protects steering and suspension components
One of the most important benefits of tire alignment is that it protects the steering and suspension components from wear and tear over time. Since the tires are directly connected to these systems, any problems with them, such as misalignment, will affect them and your safety as well.
