Keep all four wheels on the straight

Ensure that all the wheels are correctly aligned.

Correct alignment of the wheels means that the wheels are facing true and are square to the road surface.

Incorrect alignment will result in uneven and rapid wearing of your tyre tread. It may also result in the car pulling to one side and vibration, and prolonged incorrect alignment may even damage your steering and suspension mechanisms. And it will reduce your driving efficiency by increasing your fuel consumption and cost.

Have your alignment checked when you buy a new set of tyres and then every six months or every 10,000km. It is inexpensive and will save you money long-term.

A symptom of incorrect alignment is the car pulling to one side. This may follow a wheel impact, e.g. a scrape with the gutter when parking. If you notice the car pulling, have your alignment checked.
