Default Tires

Just ordered 4 Michelin Energy LX4 replacement tires for $155 each installed & balanced.
NO OTHER CHARGES THEY SAID. Plus tax though.

Should I get an allignment right away? They said $49 so I would think I'll do that too.

If your car never pulled to one side with the old tires and they were equally inflated and worn evenly, you don't need an alignment.

You typcailly only need an alignment if you do suspension work, such as replacing struts or springs. If your car does pull to one side while driving, then an alignment may be needed.

Default No Wear Prblem

Tires look almost perfect as far as even wear goes. From what you are all telling me I will leave it alone and just keep watching for uneven wear.
THANKS
