I went through two sets of tires in 3 months cause I didn't get an alignment after I dropped my car on ksports. you'll definitely regret not doing it if you don't.

...which begs the question, why is one so low if they didn't realize this in the first place..

Well the tires I have on only costed me around 150$, and since the cheapest alignement I can get is 100$, I didn't really find it worth it to try and save the tread on my tires that cost almost the same as the alignment in the first place.

And no, I cant' go to the cheaper alignment places. I had already tried 3 different places but couldn't get on any of their racks cause my car's too low. I need an in floor alignment rack.

where are you located? ... also, unless you can get a set of tires for 150 bucks the next time they need to be replaced ... i wouldn't recommend driving around so much without getting your car aligned

take off your front bumper and then go on the alignment machine...

or keep buying tires and hope you don't break anything else in the process.

Point being it's unsafe, it rides like crap and you are guaranteed to ruin your tires and possibly ruin other parts too. It's only $100. Just do et.
