If your vehicle alignment is in specs, nothing. Just keep your tires rotated every 6,000mi on average and everything would be fine. Of course, if the alignment is out of specs, you are going to have adverse tire wear leading to premature replacement. No way to tell unless it's put on a machine and the alignment verified. Rotating tires religiously is the best way to ward off most adverse tire wear. This is one of the most neglected services I see on a daily basis. Buy your tires where they honor FREE lifetime rotations, rebalance and flat repairs and life is good. They will normally look after your brakes, front end, and other points of interest while performing these services as well at no charge. Of course this is where they make their most money on the mechanical side of repairs. But it's nice to know someone is looking after your safety and that they care. If you are floored by their findings, just take the estimate and tell them you will take it under consideration. Hope this maintenance insight helps.

You recently bought new tires one week old should you have your wheels aligned or does buying new tires negate the alignment need?

new tires does not mean you don't need alignment. it is always a good idea to have the vehicle aligned after new tires are purchased to avoid premature wear, even if the car shows no sign of mis-alignment.


Do the rear tires on a Mazda 3 have to be aligned every time you do the front tires?

If you mean balance them, I say yes because you should balance and ROTATE the tires at the same time, thus making the front tires the back tires, and vise versa, Chuck

Why would tires often need aligned?

Technically speaking the tires do not require alignment. It is the wheels and their axles that are aligned. The reason is that the attachment points for the axles are constantly moving and incur wear. In addition, the axle's supports can be bent by the vehicle hitting a pothole or striking a curb. The resulting misalignment causes the wheels and tires to not track properly (all point in the same direction). This causes the tire to scuff as it travels over the road. This scuffing wears out the tire prematurely and increases the misalignment. So the simple answer as to why wheels/tires should be aligned is to save the tires from being worn out before their time.
