wheel Alignment after tyre change?

insane79 · 09-05-2012, 06:07 PM

Hi,
I am getting my rfts changed to tubeless tyres(michelin ps3) this weekend, i am only getting the tyres changed & not the wheels. Do i need a Wheel Alignment as well?

Thanks.

No and run flat tyres are tubeless too. They just have very stiff sidewalls to take the weight of the car if flat.

OP: you are not changing the wheels but when you are changing the tyres the wheels will be balanced by the fitter and then you have to go for wheel alignment to have it spot on

You might want to check the old tyres for uneven wear.

Mine were quite badly uneven, so I got the camber re-aligned after new tyres, now getting better MPG.
