Tire Terminology^*

Wheel Alignment — The measuring, analyzing, and setting of angles to predetermined specification to ensure maximum tire service life, vehicle handling, and safety. Proper wheel alignment is attained when each wheel's position, relative to the vehicle and specification, is correct.

Four-Wheel Alignment — Four-wheel alignment is the setting of all four wheels to specifications and referenced to the vehicle centerline.

Two-Wheel Alignment — Two-wheel alignment is normally performed on solid axle rear wheel drive vehicles, and is the setting of the front wheels relative to one another.

Wheel Balancing — Adding external weights to compensate for unequal distribution of tire and wheel weight. Unbalanced tire and wheel assembly is balanced by clamping appropriate metal weight to the rim.
