Hi All, I just purchased 4 new all season tires to replace my worn out summer tires. I have an 06' AWD with stock 17" rims.
The question is - do I need an alignment?
The car is tramlining badly but the tires are worn off evenly. The car had an alignment (hopefully) 10K miles ago when it has a steering recall done.

Please advise.

P.S. I know it would not hurt to do it again but I do not want to spend $70-100 if I do not have to.


Thanks

 

yes........

 

when replacing all four tires you should get a alignment after

 

+1 any time you get new tires have alignment done.

 

Thanks for your advice. I guess I'd have to spend another $150 and do the alignment.

 

Do the alignment, but call around to a few different shops to check prices.

 

get the firestone lifetime alignment. you can bring it back for an alignment as many times as you like. if you're lucky, it's on sale, but if it's not, it's like $140? pretty well worth it if you plan on keeping your car for a while.

but yeah, like everyone said, you need an alignment after putting those new tires on. you should be getting a new alignment twice a year (imo).
