Toyota LC78 Four-Wheel Alignment After Falken AT4W Fitment
Quick answer
A Toyota LC78 should have alignment checked after new wheels and all-terrain tyres are fitted because the new package can change steering feel, tyre contact and wear patterns. This LC78 received 17x8 5x150 Dynamic D Shape wheels with 265/70R17 Falken Wildpeak AT4W tyres at Autosport Tyre World Magill.
Why alignment matters on an LC78
LandCruiser 78 Series vehicles often work harder than normal passenger cars. They may carry tools, roof racks, camping gear, bull bars, winches, drawers, tanks or towing loads. Those loads affect ride height and tyre contact, and worn steering or suspension components can quickly show up as uneven wear.
When new tyres are fitted, alignment is the best time to check the final setup. If toe is out, the tyres can scrub. If the steering wheel is off centre, the vehicle may feel unsettled. If components are worn, the workshop can flag inspection rather than letting a new tyre set suffer.

Adelaide driving conditions
Adelaide driving is a mix of hot summer bitumen, wet winter mornings, suburban traffic, hills roads, rough shoulders and country trips. A 4WD tyre must cope with more than one surface. Correct alignment helps the LC78 feel more predictable on-road and helps the all-terrain tread wear more evenly.

FAQ
Is wheel alignment needed after fitting all-terrain tyres?
It is strongly recommended, especially on a 4WD, because it helps reduce uneven tyre wear and checks the vehicle after the tyre and wheel change.
Can bad alignment damage new Falken AT4W tyres?
Incorrect alignment can cause shoulder wear, feathering or poor tracking, so it is worth checking early.
