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?

Well, do I need a front alignment with new front tires or not? Anyone?

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.
