Wheel Alignment

It's surprisingly easy for the rear wheels to go out of alignment. The first time, the rear wheel rubbed through and blew out. The second time, a tow truck hooked to my rear wheel to pull me out of the ditch. I found out a bit later that the tire had worn through and blew out. I had checked it earlier for heating, but it remained cool. This is not a reliable method for determining whether your wheel is out of alignment.
