2011 GS Alignment Needed?

[SSSN8KE]

I’m getting a new set of Continentals in a few weeks and was wondering if I should get a new alignment? The existing tires are showing no signs of uneven tire wear. Is the “norm” to get an alignment after new tire installation? If so is there a go to alignment shop in the Muskoka area?

Thanks!
Stu.

I wouldn't bother. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I couldn't disagree with you more Murray20c8. Bushings have settled and the investment of new tires is expensive.
An alignment is worth the peace of mind that you new tires will last....and everything is running true.

I tend to disagree. The bushings on his 2011 are 15 years old.... Bushing settlement has long since taken place and he stated that his old tires show no sign of uneven wear so really doubt that will change with the new tires. If camber and caster were off, that would have been noticed by tire edge wear. If you want to do an alignment and it lets you sleep better at night, go for it but I wouldn't.
