Mounting + Alignment?

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of getting a new set of tires soon and I'm wondering if it was a smart idea to have my tires aligned immediately after mounting them.

I cursory search didn't yield any results, so if this has been discussed before, please direct me to the correct thread.

Thanks!

Never a bad idea for sure... there's no way to tell how well aligned your car is without at least an alignment check...

You should at least check to see how evenly your old tires wore, best done with a tread depth gauge available at most auto parts stores
