Why Wheel Alignment Matters After New Tyres on a Subaru XV

Why this setup suits Subaru XV drivers
The Subaru XV is a compact SUV with all-wheel-drive confidence, so tyre condition and alignment make a real difference to steering feel, wet-road stability and even tyre wear. Adelaide drivers often use these vehicles for daily commuting, school runs, hills roads and weekend travel, so tyre choice should be practical rather than purely price-driven.
For a 225/55R17 fitment, the important checks are load rating, speed rating, tyre placard suitability, rim condition, valve condition, balancing, tyre pressure and the final alignment readings. The right recommendation can vary by Subaru XV year, trim level, previous tyre wear and suspension condition.
Four-wheel alignment notes
Four-wheel alignment is recommended after new tyres because it sets a measured baseline for the vehicle. On a Subaru XV, poor toe or camber can show as feathered tread, shoulder wear, steering pull, an off-centre steering wheel or a less settled feel on wet roads.
The workshop photos show alignment equipment fitted to the vehicle after the Yokohama G95A tyre replacement. The final settings should always be based on the actual vehicle condition, not copied from another car.
