Default Help with Alignment situation?

Hi All,

I currrently replaced my shock and struts and have some 24inch wheels(radial) coming in about a week. My current tires are 275/45/22 and beat down !!!!! should i wait till I get the new wheels and tires put on to do an alignment ? or go ahead and do the alignment while I wait for the new set despite riding some terrible tires?


also heard that doing an alignment while riding some uneven worn out tires can throw off the alignement readings and might have to go back once you place the new set to have it redone..... thanks for any help

Wait. The alignment will be more exact with the new tires as they will both be of the same dimensions and profiles.

Yup, wait till everything is installed and done before doing the alignment. No point in paying twice for a service
