Should I get an allignment?

LITLRED is getting some new shoes.
Picked up a pair of almost brand new BF Goodrich Dueler AT 695's on CL and just ordered 2 more from TireMonkey

The truck has no obvious allignment issues. Should I play it safe and have an allignment done anyway? How much should I expect to pay?

Most places are around $75 or so. I went with the lifetime from firestone for 150. Bigger tires, took it in. BJ spacers, took it in. Go out wheeling.... Well I havent noticed it out of whack after that yet.

Are the new tires same size as the ones you are replacing? If it's the same, and the wear pattern is good on those, and you throw the new tires and everything tracks nicely I say skip it.

Heck yes- you want to keep those tires as long as possible right? Rotate frequently and some would say swap corners as well, not just front and back rotations.
