I just want to toss in here that what you guys are suggesting is just a very simplistic alignment addressing camber and toe only without addressing thrust angles, yaw and steering angles which are part of a true four wheel alignment . If only addressing camber and toe it is possible to have tire wear acceptable but not in line with the direction of travel of the car body which can introduce yaw where the car looks to be "crabbing" down the road. Not even mentioning steering and thrust angle changes due to acceleration and braking forces.

Thanks to all for responding. I last had the 4 wheel alignment done two years ago (I think). I will consider it more frequently. My indie, who is an award winning gold level Porsche mechanic suggested to do it yearly if tracking, or auto crossing. Be well. If you are near the eye of the storm this weekend, be safe. Thanks.
