Align or not?

[fasteddie2015]

Just replaced my tires... 2015 LC 115K mi with stock 18 inch wheels, yoko geolander a/t g015. Tracks straight as an arrow. No drift, pull or steering issues.

On my other vehicles I've always gotten an alignment when I got new tires. Frequently, they dont get it perfect the first time. Is it essential or a good idea to get an alignment done on a LC when replacing tires?

I got a free alignment with my last set of tires, and it was still within spec after almost 100k miles...

If it’s all stock and you had no unusual wear on the out-going tires, I’d skip an alignment. Certainly not essential. I had to get 3 alignments just for the dealer to get the steering wheel straight, so no guarantee you’d get a good one anyway. I think this is one of those “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” things.

I 2nd @Sandroad s experience and advice. If it’s driving well and not chewing-up tires leave it alone. There’s a 50% or higher chance it’ll come out of the alignment worse off.

This is me too. Should’ve left well enough alone. It’s still not right either.
