Either way. The alignment is based on the position of the wheels not the tires. Just don't wear out good tires due to misaligned wheels. ? David Clarkson 90 Westy

Ok, I know this is a silly question but here it is anyway. I bought new tires this past summer - well apprently my alignment is off (although not real noticeable while driving) and it seems the front driver's side tire has some terrible wear on the inside. So I need a new tire - but do I get an alignment first or the new tire first? Again it may be a silly question but I really am not sure. -- Thanks, Jeff '85 GL (Gertie) '90 Carat (Grover - the noble parts donor) '86 (We call this one Scrap) '78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus |
