When your car is going straight your wheels should be pointing straight too, right? Well, if you're alignment is off then your wheels won't be heading straight. An out of alignment car can result in some serious wear issues which a tire rotation can help to correct.
Here's an experiment: take a crayon and hold it lengthwise against a piece of paper. When you push it, how wide of a line is it making? The more crayon that is touching the paper, the wider the line. The same holds true for your tires. An improper alignment causes your tires to make contact with the ground at an odd angle. These strange angles can result in uneven tire wear. While you'll want to get an alignment, a tire rotation can help to protect your tires from early wear out. Making sure tire wear takes into account wheel alignment can help your tires last longer.
