    How did your old tires wear? If they had some edgewise u might need one, but most shops give free alignment checks just to make sure

    Just because he did not alter the suspension does not mean an alignment is not needed. Parts can wear, potholes or running over stuff can knock the alignment out. My truck doesn't pull or anything. It drives easy but I still need an alignment because I have wear on the edge. i just havn't worried about it because I am having new tires put on this weekend.

    How much did you spend on your tires, and do you want them to last as long as possible? Get an alignment for $50 now and rotate every 5k to maximize your value on the rubber.

    Oh wait, you're a troll. Pineappleboy and you do burnouts. Nevermind. Don't get an alignment, and do lots of burnouts to break in the new tires. It is critical to season them or they won't wear correctly.

    That's one of the nicer things I've been called.
    Seriously, you do burnouts, so why do you even care about an alignment? :notsure:
