Will tesla service fix steering wheel alignment

[Gucci7]

Since I replaced one of the rear tire I feel like the steerling wheel is little bit off, where should I go get it fix? will tesla service fix it? or any shop will do the alignment.

Thanks

There is nothing unique about the steering, tires, or alignment. Just go to any tire shop.

Better yet. Find a shop that does nothing but wheel alignments. I find they do outstanding work.

To answer your question, yes, the SC can do the fix. They probably aren't the best price though. And I agree that taking it to a place that concentrates on alignment is probably a better bet.

Before changing the alignment, move the new tire to a different location. Is your car AWD ?
If so, you can't replace just one tire.

Also, unless the other tires were still fairly new, replacing only one tire can causes problems, which is why it is not recommended.

I got MYP front and rear are different size, got a flat tire 2 months ago replaced a new tire since then I feel like its little bit off not center anymore.

are you saying I should replace both of them next time when the old one needs to replace.

Replacing the rear wheel wouldn't affect the steering. Why did you replace it? Did you hit something? If so, that could throw your toe out in front which could result in a weird steering wheel

Why can't I just change one tire at a time?

Tire Pirates explains why it’s not a good idea perform a tire change on just one tire at a time, and why car tires should be changed all at once.

If it only had 22 miles, it should be fine. If it changed the steering center, swap it to the other side
and see if that makes a difference. Radial tire pull can happen, even if the tire is not on the front axle.

22k.

Then you should do both.

Just a flat tire

@Gucci7 I say it depends. I had a bad flat at 8K and the tesla tech inspected remaining three tires and said its okay to swap only one. 9/32 brand new vs 7/32 used ones. At 22K I guess the old ones are too old to be mixed

The shop said the old ones seems not bad could go up for another year, anyway so in the future if I swapped all 4 will it be back to normal?
