Alignment with new tires?

Just replaced OEM tires (265/65R17) with new Ridge Grapplers (265/70R17) and truck has a slight pull to the right. Is it advisable to have an alignment when getting new tires, and when changing tire size? Thanks y'all.

 

Yes it is advisable to get an alignment. Most likely it just needs a toe adjustment, but its important for proper tire wear.

 

switch the front tires, mine did the same thing, i switched them and it was perfect... its a tire thing sometimes, tires arnt always perfect.

 

I think it's advisable to get an alignment because most people haven't gotten one in a long time and if your alignment is poor, you will start destroying those brand new tires immediately.

However, the change in tire size, from a geometry standpoint, should NOT change your alignment specs. Period. If new tires has changed your alignment specs then someone did something VERY wrong.

But if your tuck is pulling to one side or the other an alignment would certainly be a great place to start.

 

if it was fine before the new tires your alignment is fine,, its a tire thing, had a 2001 off road for 10 yrs, lots of new tires, never an alignment, and never a problem,, tires never wore, and it never pulled either way.. i just put new fox 2.5's in the front on my Pro, months ago, everyone said ,, oh you need aftermarket UCA's and an alignment,, i lifted the front close to 2 inches, 7000 miles later, no problems, no tire wear, no pull left or right, all is good,, mine did pull alittle right with then new general's, but swapped the front tires side to side, and its perfect,,, people say alot of things,, but everyone is differant, and so are trucks
