Anybody running Yokohama tires on here?

I just made 13,053 miles yesterday and put 4 brand new Yokohama Advan All seasons on in process of getting it ready for the winter. Do I need to do a wheel alignment I just had it high speed balanced and how much does wheel alignment usually cost?

Or should I just go to the service center and ask them to do it? And am I better off instead of going to a shop because I’d like for it to be hunter force balanced.

You’ve posted in the W204 forum. You might want to post in the W166 forum for comments specific to your GL.

I ran Yokohama Advan Sport A/S (V405) for 95,000 miles. Just changing tires does not usually require wheel alignment.

Were the tires that came off the vehicle wearing unevenly? Was there any sort of driving issue (a pull to one side, steering wheel not centered, something like that) with the other tires? If not, then no, you don't need an alignment.

You just had what high speed balanced? And the cost of the alignment will depend on where you're located and what kind of vehicle you're talking about.

What is the difference between a service center and a shop? To me, those terms are synonymous.
