Question Wheel allignment issue

Hello all, about 1 month ago I changed out the back 2 tires on my wrx with brand new tires. Last week I got 2 more tires for the fronts....when I took off the fronts the inside of the tires were almost bald......my question is now that I changed to basically 4 brand new tires do I need to get an allignment? Thanks........ P.S. if I do need an allignment can anyone recommend a good shop to go to? thanks

Sounds like your toe is out so an alignment would be a good idea. How much camber are you running in front?

anytime you see uneven treadware is usually a sign of alignment wear. and since you just got new tires all around, it would be a good idea to get an alignment done

I usually take my car to Big O Tires for alignment. Costs around $60 IIRC

Since I do alignments a lot I got a lifetime alignment at Firestone. Pay once and get an alignment whenever you want.
