Alignment with New Front Tires?

The time has come for new front tires, but I have one question. I was planning on getting a front end alignment when I have them installed. Is this recommended?

Default Alignment with New Front Tires?

The time has come for new front tires, but I have one question. I was planning on getting a front end alignment when I have them installed. Is this recommended?

Also, how often do you guys get alignments, and do you always get one when you install new tires?


I was able to find this link, but it just seems crazy that you wouldn't get a front alignment done at least once a year, and especially when you get new tires installed..
Alignment and tire longevity? Replacement tires?

I believe u will be paying the same price if ur aligning 2 wheels or the whole car... if so align the whole car again see if everything is in spec...

Not sure how the roads are in your area, but they suck in NJ. Would always get a 4 wheel alignment especially with a new set of tires.

You do not need a wheel alignment unless your steering wheel is off center. New tires wont through it off. If you lower your car or mess with the toe/camber spec then you would.
