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.Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.0

Shouldn't really make a huge difference but I agree movilogo.0

Definitely after. If the original tyres are badly worn or warped then this could affect the tracking.The man without a signature.0

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.0 -
