Steering alignment

    I replaced two of the tires which were really worn out and i did not
    want to take a chance with the buffalo winter. The other two tires
    were brand new when I had purchased the car 6-7 months back. I had the
    new tires put on the front and the old ones at the back. But having
    the new tires on the front dis-aligns my streering. Once I put the old
    tires back on the front, the streering again aligns properly. Now the
    question is why would only the new tires create an alignment problem?
    Should I get a steering alignment done with the new tires at the
    front? If I do that, would it dis-align the steering again when I
    rotate the tires?

    Usually when you purchase new tire you get an alignement done,but that's my
    vision of things.
    If you buy "budget" tires i guess it is not really necessary but if you buy
    expensive ones(like i do) you get it aligned.

    Good luck!

    P.S. if you get an alignement make sure everything is tight and
    sound(bearings,bushings,tie rod,ball joints)if not,they wont do it.You will
    have to get that fix before.
