'04 Alignment

[wwr]

With these big a** tires and the crummy roads and the car in general do just have the alignment done when you "think" it needs it or is that too late. I know of course tire wear but that is too late usually on other cars.

Thanks,

Hi there,
I usually recommend once a year or every 12000 miles.
This also goes for a rebalance of the tires.
Allthebest, c4c5

You would really recommend an alignment that often? It seems rather excessive.

HI there,
Not IMO, especially given the tire prices and road quality here in the northeast.
When properly maintained, you will get 30k out of a set of F1-GS runflats and at least 22k out of the F1-SC tires.
Allthebest, c4c5

Joe, with different sizes on the front and rear, and directional tires, you can't rotate them to extend tire life. My opinion, a fairly regular (even if excessive) alignment and balancing is wise (not to mention relatively cheap) alternative to buying new tires every year.

Just my $0.02
