Alignment Before or After New Tires ?
Going to get new tires in a few weeks. Going back with the same Michelins. Is it best to do the alignment before or after the new tires ? I've been told both ! Thanks.

You got a 4 wheel alignment on a motor home?????
Yep, aligning the rear axle is called the thrust angle alignment and makes sure that all four wheels are going in a straight line and square to each other. As seen from the rear, if a vehicle's rear axle is out of alignment the vehicle looks like it is crabbing down the road. Adjusting and aligning the rear axle eliminates this crabbing and results in better rear tire wear and better handling for the coach.
