    My 2002 Tacoma came with oem P205/75R15 97S (Michelin) tires.
    Michelin no longer makes that specific size but nearest Michelin replacement. size is a Michelin Defender LTXM/S-215/75R15 100T, tire.

    Will the original Toyota wheel alignment specs (which I do have from orig. vehicle purchase), remain proper for the new tires? In other words, do I get the vehicle, (with new/slightly diff. tire size) aligned to the oem specs or ???

    Yes. Tires don’t change the alignment. Messing with suspension messes up your alignment.
