   Most *decent tyre places* will do a wheel alignment check at the same   
   time new tyres are fitted, especially if the existing tyres show   
   evidence of alignment issues. Every time I've had new tyres fitted, a   
   wheel balance and alignment was a requirement for any warranty   
   expectation. Need to start the tyre life from a known point. FWIW, any   
   alignment should begin with a steering and suspension *condition check*.
