Audi Q5 Wheel Alignment After New Continental 255/45R20 Tyres
After this Audi Q5 received 255/45R20 Continental UltraContact UX7 tyres, the next important step was a four-wheel alignment.
Alignment is easy to overlook because the car may still drive acceptably with worn tyres. But once a fresh set goes on, poor toe or camber can start wearing the new tyres unevenly straight away. On a 20-inch Audi Q5 fitment, that is not something worth guessing.
What Four-Wheel Alignment Checks
| Alignment item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Toe | A major cause of rapid inner or outer tyre wear |
| Camber | Affects shoulder load and contact patch behaviour |
| Steering centre | Helps the vehicle drive straight without constant correction |
| Rear geometry | Important on AWD SUVs where all four tyres matter |
Why Alignment Supports Grip
Grip depends on the tyre contacting the road correctly. If the alignment is wrong, part of the tyre can be overloaded while another part does less work. That can reduce braking confidence, cornering feel and tyre life.
