Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / July 2007Question on tires alignment?
I have a car that i just got 2 new tires for the front. It is a Toyota Corolla front wheel drive. The rear tires are older with still some tread left, maybe 3,000 miles before replacement. I was thinking about getting an alignment for the car. However, should i wait until i replace the rear tires and get an alignment or does it matter? In other words,if i go ahead and get an alignment today and replace my rear tires in a couple months, would i need another alignment? Thanks guys.

Replace all four tires with the same brand and size. Next get a front end alignment. Finally, rotate your tires front to back every 5,000 miles. > On Jul 28, 1:58 pm, "zcare...@yahoo.com" <zcare...@yahoo.com> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Replace all four tires with the same brand and size. Wise counsel. IMO, anyone that puts multiple sized tires on a car not intended for such is a douchebag. >Next get a front end alignment. He should spring for a four wheel alignment given toe and camber are adjustable in the rear of his ride. > Finally, rotate your tires front to back every 5,000 miles. Absolutely. Even a perfect alignment can't keep those soft rear control bushings from tearing up rear tires that have been in place too long... not to mention the many other benefits of 5K rotations.

Thanks guys. Recommendations on a decent priced, and reputable alignment place? I live in Texas. Thanks again.

In Dallas, the best place is Dallas Frame and Alignment on Fabens. My bad. To be specific, the Houston area. On Jul 29, 1:44 pm, "zcare...@yahoo.com" <zcare...@yahoo.com> wrote: > My bad.
