Ideally, you should check your tire alignment right after buying new tires. By having your alignment looked at as part of the tire installation process, you’ll maximize the lifespan of your brand-new wheels while reaping the other benefits of correct wheel alignment.
Still, you shouldn’t wait until your new tires are entirely worn out to recheck your alignment. Instead, bring your vehicle to a reliable alignment shop at least once a year to check your suspension’s alignment. If you regularly drive on bumpy roads, adjust this schedule to at least twice a year. On top of that, consider checking your alignment after:
Hitting an animal, pothole, or curb
Being involved in a car crash
Feeling vibrations while steering
Spotting uneven wear on your tires
Seeing your steering wheel veering in one direction or another
