Misalignment of the wheels is usually caused when the front wheels hit potholes, speedhumps or the kerb. Noticeable signs of misalignment are, wear on the edges of both front tyres, the car may pull to one side or the steering wheel may be off centre.
All car wheels should be parallel when in motion, in the example shown the wheels are toeing in, this will cause the tyres to drag rather than roll, thus causing rapid tyre wear on the edges reducing the life of your expensive tyres.
It is important to regularly check the alignment, at BEST Autocentres we will check it free and only charge if it needs adjusting.
