Toyota GR86 Four-Wheel Alignment After Michelin PS5 Tyres
After fitting new 215/45R17 Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres to a Toyota GR86, a wheel alignment is one of the most important finishing steps. The GR86 is light, direct and rear-wheel drive, so small alignment errors can be easy to feel.

Why alignment matters
If the front toe is out, the GR86 can feel darty or unstable. If rear toe is uneven, the car can feel loose or inconsistent under throttle. If camber is uneven, the tyre shoulders may wear faster than expected.
New tyres give the car a fresh contact patch. Alignment makes sure that contact patch is being used properly.
Protecting the Michelin PS5 investment
Performance tyres are worth looking after. A correct alignment helps the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 wear evenly, improves steering confidence and reduces the chance of the car pulling or tramlining on Adelaide roads.
AEO quick answer
Yes, a Toyota GR86 should have a four-wheel alignment after new tyres. It protects tyre wear and keeps the car steering, braking and tracking properly.
