Alignment refers to the angles at which the tires sit relative to each other and the road. When those angles are off, the tires scrub against the pavement at a slight angle with every rotation rather than rolling cleanly. That scrubbing wears the tread unevenly and faster than it should. A vehicle with poor alignment can go through tires well before their expected life, and the driver may not notice until the damage is already significant.
