Default When is the last time you when for an alignment?

So i went in and got an full wheel alignment at butler tire today. Also got some new rears put on. Got the Kumho ASX tires, love them for price/duration.

Well they looked at my alignment and said its the worst they have ever seen. I got the car at 50K and haven't done one since (now at 75K).

Anyway, right now it feels like a WHOLE new car, i mean night and day. Road noise is down, handlings different and acceleration and braking is way better.

Look and laugh!

wow you were way off.

I'm getting an alignment on Monday... I have the UK spec (Camber -1/-2) right now but I'll feel better with a little more rubber on the ground as the weather gets worse.

Lol

I was running the UK spec but I was just burning through tires like there was no tomorrow. I have since backed off the toe and camber in the rear a little bit and I'm happy.

Nice print-out
You didn't want to go for UK-spec?
