Once I get tires I'll have to do an alignment anyway... so why not lower the gas sipper a bit while I'm at it! What do you guys think? Oh and one of my good buddies is a mechanic so doing the alignment might be free for a few cold ones.
Why would you get an alignment after changing tires? At best, you accomplish nothing, at worst you're wasting a lot of money.

Obviously, taking the suspension apart necessitates an alignment. That's just smart.

Of course, if your alignment is off, and you just don't want to ruin new tires, then nevermind me.
