Getting alignment with 1 NEW TIRE
Hey guys,
I'm goign to get an alignment on tuesday. My only concern is that I just previously installed one new tire on the rear right. Do you guys think since the tread wear of the tire is different, the diameter of the tire is not the same as the other three. I feel like, in the future, if I get new tires for the other three, the alignment will be off. What do you guys think?

This is the reasoning behind replacing four tires at a time.
It will not feel right with uneven tires sizes. It tends to cause the vehicle to drift on uneven pavement and fail to track straight. Alignments rarely overcome the effect of the uneven tire sizes.
