Why alignment matters on an EVO

An EVO is a performance all-wheel-drive sedan, so alignment affects steering feel, tyre wear and how settled the car feels under acceleration, braking and cornering. After a wheel and tyre upgrade, the car should not be assumed to drive correctly just because the wheels bolt on.

Toe, camber and steering centre can all affect how the Yokohama AD09 tyres wear. A small alignment issue can become expensive when the tyre is wide and performance-focused.

Why new wheels can change the baseline

Changing to a 17x9.5 +35 wheel changes the relationship between the tyre, suspension and guard. Even when the car has enough clearance, the wider tyre can make an existing alignment issue more obvious.

That is why the final step is not only fitting and balancing. Four-wheel alignment confirms how the car is sitting after the package is installed.

Adelaide driving conditions

Adelaide roads give performance tyres a mixed life. One week can include hot dry roads, pothole hits, city kerbs, wet mornings and hills driving. A well-aligned EVO is easier to drive predictably through that mix.

Alignment also helps customers get more value from the tyre package because the tyre is less likely to scrub away one shoulder early.

FAQ

Does an EVO need alignment after wheels?

Poor alignment can cause avoidable uneven wear on any tyre, and wider performance tyres can make the issue more noticeable.

The package was Advan Racing GT Copper Bronze 17x9.5 +35 5x114.3 with 255/40R17 Yokohama ADVAN AD09.
