Hi,

Recently, I had my car's front wheel changed with new wheels (Kelly tires). I was told that my car's rear wheels need alignment. I want to ask if its ok to have the wheels aligned before changing the rear ties?

Since I have front tires of Kelly Brand can I put Goodyear rear ties?

Thanks for your time.

Most alignment specialists prefer to see your old tires so they can "read" the tire wear. Even when all four wheels are set correctly, there can be some minor tire wear that a small adjustment can correct.
