wheel tracking. before or after new tyres?

hewhoisnotintheknow

Im going to get some new tyres this afternoon and get my tracking done too

Do i get it done before or after the new tyres are fitted or does it not matter

You should do it after fitting the new tyre.

Shouldn't really make a huge difference but I agree movilogo.

Definitely after. If the original tyres are badly worn or warped then this could affect the tracking.

I routinely get my tyres from MichealDever Tyres near Basingstoke in Hampshire, tyres get replaced first then onto the tracking and alignment bays after (costs about £20-£25 here).
If it were a good idea to do it the other way round they would as the bottle neck in the queue is for tyre replacements - they turnover a large volume of customers in a day.

Which means you got the tyres done then the alignment & tracking regardless of what you may have asked for

indeed, ive never had the tracking touched before, i just was not sure what the deal was, i was not sure if they made you go straight on rather than right, but as it turns out, its new tyres and left around the back!
