Can you have a wheel alignment and not change old tires?

Yes, it's possible to have a wheel alignment without changing your old tires. Wheel alignment focuses on adjusting the angles of your wheels to ensure proper contact with the road and even wear on your tires. It doesn't directly involve changing or replacing your tires.

During a wheel alignment, a technician uses specialized equipment to measure and adjust the angles of your wheels, including camber, caster, and toe. These adjustments are made to optimize handling, stability, and tire life.

While a wheel alignment can improve the performance and safety of your vehicle, it's important to note that it's not a tire repair or replacement service. If your tires are worn, damaged, or nearing the end of their lifespan, they will still need to be replaced regardless of whether or not you have a wheel alignment.

Regular wheel alignments are essential to maintaining optimal vehicle performance and safety, and they can help extend the lifespan of your tires by ensuring proper wear patterns and preventing uneven tread wear.
