Wheel alignment and balancing play a critical role in tyre performance and life on Land Rovers in Pakistan due to rough roads and frequent bumps:

Misalignment — caused by potholes, uneven surfaces, o r hitting road obstacles — leads to uneven tyre wear, poor handling, pulling to one side, and reduced tyre life. Regular alignment checks help prevent these issues.

Unbalanced wheels can cause vibrations at higher speeds and lead to uneven tread wear o r suspension stress. Re‑balancing tyres periodically e.g., every 5,000–8,000 km helps maintain smooth driving.

Worn suspension components bushings, shocks — common on rough Pakistani roads — can also accelerate tyre wear o r create vibrations that feel like tyre issues. Addressing suspension health helps protect tyres too.

Regular alignment and balancing checks after heavy road use o r hitting potholes are key to prolonging tyre life, improving safety, and keeping the ride comfortable.
