Why Alignment Matters With New Michelin Tyres

New tyres can only work properly if they sit squarely on the road. If the previous tyres had inner-edge wear, shoulder wear, pulling or a steering wheel that was off-centre, the new Michelin PS5 tyres should be followed by a proper alignment check.

On this Crown, the wheel and tyre package changes the fitment from standard, so alignment is part of protecting the tyre life and keeping the car predictable on Adelaide roads.
