How often do you get alignment done?

Do you every time you get a new set of tires? Both front & rear alignment? Still learning about the ins and outs of the wagonator...
thanks for the reply.

At $500 per tire why not get an alignment?

Changed out once in four years and never had it done, car feels great with new rubber on especially on the fronts and no alignment needed.

Personally, I would get alignment checked annually. I've never had an alignment done in my life that didn't require any adjustment. And after the car has always felt better, even though it felt good beforehand.

Annually. The Firestone Automotive Shop near my home offers a lifetime alignment. I think I paid around 200 dollars for it.
