Tires do not get out of alignment they may be out of balance but not alignment. Your suspension however can be out of alignment. The only way to know for sure is to have it checked.
Not necessarily. If the car was in alignment prior to getting the new tires, it will be in alignment after the new tires. It isn't a bad idea to check the alignment periodically and it is probably better to check it more frequently than when you get new tires.
You sould have the new tires mounted FIRST, then have them do the alignment at the same visit.
My van has bad tires at front and better ones at rear, should wheel alignment be performed with bad tires?
The alignment adjusting settings. If you are not sure, get an alignment , cheap and your tires will wear better
No.
No. If there had previously not been any alignment issues, and as long as the new tires are properly balanced, you will not need an alignment.
When you change the alignment on your car, you are making sure that all of the tires are in a straight line. You can tell when an alignment is necessary because the tires will wear unevenly and your vehicle may drift.
they are not always required but if the old tires had an odd wear pattern it would be in your best interest to have an alignment
You "CAN" but even old tires that look good can cause all sorts of trouble that feel like alignment problems. The alignment shop is going to recomend changing them.
You could, but it would be more accurate with new tires.
Yes. They measure from the rims not the tires.
Yes.
