Car Wheel Alignment Question

[BHC]

My commuter car is in dire need of tires and I just got a very good deal on quality tires from Wal-Mart, but they don't do alignments, and I will have it done else where. My question is do I have the alignment done before having the new tires installed or after? I will do both on the same day

either or...

I would do the alignment after they are mounted. My thinking is that the new tires sit a bit differently on the road than the worn tires and the alignment needs to match the new rubber to square them up, though they are aligning the wheel not the rubber, just makes me feel better.

It won't matter the alignment is the adjustment of the suspension and steering angles.

Putting new tires on wont affect it. If you were closer I'd hook u up with an alignment.

going Friday, I was very surprised that I got the email from Wal-Mart that my tires came in already, ordered on Friday morning and they came in today, they first told me when I placed the order it would be nearly 2 weeks
