Title: 4-Wheel Allignment
Post by: lukemk5gti on January 21, 2016, 12:48:19 pm

I had my 4 wheels hawkeye laser aligned 14 months ago with VW at a rough cost of €120.

I'm putting on another 4 tyres in the coming weeks. Should I get them 4 wheel laser aligned again or will I just have any half decent tyre fitter do front wheel alignment for about €20?

If you haven't done many miles or changed anything in the suspension I don't think you'll benefit from doing another wheel alignment. Do the cheaper just for the sake of it. :smiley:

Thanks for that!

As above, wheel alignment geometry doesn't change a great deal when putting new tyres on.
