Should you always get an alingment when getting new tires?

Yes. Laser, four wheel alignment is my preference. Far better than the older method.

Yes. That will maximize how long your tires last.

Firestone lifetime alignment

Hey guys and gals,


For those of you that have gotten the "Lifetime Alignment" from Firestone...

how good is it? Do they use the proper equipment and do it properly on the Boxsters?


Thanks

I would wait a week or so after getting the new tires before getting an alignment....This gives the car a little time to get used to the different dynamics of your new tires.....
