Default Do I need alignment on all four tires?
2006 IS350.
I have uneven wear on the front tires and I have to replace them.
I was recommended an alignment.
Do I need to do it on the back too? The back tires are fine.

Make sure your toe is close to zero as possible too. The major issue with inner wear on these car.

Simple answer is yes; get a 4-wheel alignment done. And like what was mentioned, tell your specialist to get your toe spec as close to 0 as possible.

I say get the 4 wheels alignment is always a good idea to get them done at once to get even wear on all fours...

Look into getting poly #2 LCA bushings before getting your alignment. They're supposed to help with this issue:
