Question on tires alignment?

I have a car that i just got 2 new tires for the front. It is a Toyota Corolla front wheel drive. The rear tires are older with still some tread left, maybe 3,000 miles before replacement. I was thinking about getting an alignment for the car. However, should i wait until i replace the rear tires and get an alignment or does it matter? In other words,if i go ahead and get an alignment today and replace my rear tires in a couple months, would i need another alignment? Thanks guys.

Replace all four tires with the same brand and size. Next get a front end alignment. Finally, rotate your tires front to back every 5,000 miles.

Put the new tires on now and get the alignment now.

unless.....you're jest a fan of frequenting tire and alignment shops, then by all means.......wait and do them both later.

In Texas? That doesn't really narrow it down very much. The mileage from El Paso to Houston is about the same as the mileage from Houston to St. Louis.

In Dallas, the best place is Dallas Frame and Alignment on Fabens.

Wise counsel. IMO, anyone that puts multiple sized tires on a car not intended for such is a douchebag.

He should spring for a four wheel alignment given toe and camber are adjustable in the rear of his ride.

Absolutely. Even a perfect alignment can't keep those soft rear control bushings from tearing up rear tires that have been in place too long... not to mention the many other benefits of 5K rotations.
