   Especially if your car is very out of line.  I had a set of very worn   
   tires on a car, and I did not align it when I put new tires on.  I put   
   off the alignment, even though it was pulling.  Long story short, I   
   trashed the new front tires in short of 10,000 miles, and had to buy two   
   new ones then got the alignment (first new tie rod ends).
