I just had my alignment done and steering wheel adjusted and my Mustang is still pulling a little.

A little background 2 years ago I had new tires put on by a local shop and recently found out they never did it even though I asked for one.

My question is would my Mustang not being aligned cause uneven wear on my tires.

My Mustang is supercharged and lowered if that makes a difference.

Very Respectfully

Yes, bad alignment will cause your tires to wear unevenly. Too much toe in (+) will eat the outside of your tires and too much toe out (-) will eat the insides up.

If the existing tires are unevenly worn, they will continue to wear that way even after you get the alignment corrected, AND they will likely cause a pull or "tramline". Happened to me last year when I was too late fixing an alignment issue. I should have waited until the tires wore out because the car drove fine before the alignment and after it drove like crap because the worn tires started fighting each other.

Thank you for the information and that sounds exactly what's going on with my Mustang currently.
