Does a GTR35 Need Wheel Alignment When Changing Tyres?
Yes, it is strongly recommended to check wheel alignment when replacing tyres on a GTR35, especially with wide tyre sizes like:
- Front: 285/35R20
- Rear: 345/30R20
A GTR35 has high power, wide tyres and a performance suspension setup. If toe, camber or alignment balance is not correct, the tyres can wear unevenly, often on the inner edge where it is harder to see.
This GTR35 had a wheel alignment with Autosport Tyre World Magill around two years ago. When the old tyres were removed during this tyre replacement, there was no obvious uneven wear.
That is the result we want to see: better tyre contact, more even wear and more stable road behaviour.
Wheel alignment is not only about a straight steering wheel. It affects how the tyre sits on the road, how the car tracks under braking, and how evenly the tyre wears across the tread. On a car with 345-wide rear tyres, small alignment issues can become expensive tyre wear problems.
Short Answer for Adelaide Drivers
If you are changing tyres on a GTR35, modified performance car or wide-tyre vehicle in Adelaide, ask for an alignment check at the same time. It can help protect the new tyres and identify suspension or geometry issues before they become uneven wear.
