Tires Alignment
Hi All
the life of my Pirelli is coming to an end at only 15k , I’m going to replace all 4 tires with a Michelin non RFT
Anyone can tell me if I have to do alignment too?
Thanky you

Just replaced w/Bridgestone Driveguard tires on my sled and headed to the dealer for 4 wheel alignment Monday. Seems to be a good idea when you get new tires; had it done about 15 months ago (it was out of spec when delivered!).

Yes, imperative to have done, especially when new tyres fitted. In Oz, MB have change 3 times that I know of, the default specifications for alignments.
This has happened to minimise tyre crabbing on tight right u turns and minimise front left tyre edge wear.
Also you need to rotate tyres front to rear every 10K km, which I think is 6,500miles to extend tyre life.
Try to have it done at a dealer that has the “Hunter” brand machine and have them provide you with a before and after print out of align settings.
