Alignment
A lot of people will say yes. However, if your car was in proper alignment before it should be okay .

You've never had a car aligned before? It depends on who does it. $80-100 for front end, $100-150 for 4 wheel.

It's good to make sure it is in alignment when you get new tires just in case it isn't, and you end up wearing the tires before they should.

Nope. Never thought it was really necessary but apparently after getting new wheels, I should get it done. I want to do everything proper so I get long thread life.

Proper alignment is a big part of routine car maintenance.

Yeah I never really cared about my previous cars. All I would do is change the oil every 3k miles. Prob why it started dying at 75k miles.
