Getting new tire...need some advise

[findmypath]

Hey everyone,

 

The time has come to replace my tires. I'm going back with the OEM tires...BF Dueler H/T 689. I found a pretty good deal on TireRack.com. Here are my questions

 

- Has anyone had any experience with TireRack? Good or Bad?

- How to best tell if I need a alignment?

- If I do need a alignment ..should I do it with the new tires on or with the old ones?

- Are there any other places online that you would recommend for tires?

 

Thanks everyone.

1) No experience

2) What does the wear pattern look like on the old tires? If they are unevenly worn, you need an alignment. I almost always have an alignment done when mounting new tires, but then, it has usually needed it.

3) New tires, no question about it.

4) I was looking the other day, but the list is at home. I'll chime in later.

I ordered my dads tires for him from tire rack. The service was excellent, fast, and the deal was awesome. We got 4 stock r50 size dueler at revos' for like 420 bucks shipped!

Hi everyone,

 

I just ordered my tires and they are on their way. My next to do is to find out whether or not I will need a alignment ...and if I do where to go. My question to all of you - what should I look for in a wheel alignment place....I called around and they all seem to use a computer alignment rack but are there any other things that I should look at or ask for?

 

Thanks.

If you go to firestone, its costs a bit more, but you can get a lifetime alignment. It costs around $170, but for the time you own your rig, you can bring it in anytime and they will check the alignment and realign if necessary. They also have good service
