I'm putting a set of Cup2's on my car and am wondering if I need to have an alignment because of that particular tire? I changed the suspension about two years ago to the Ford Performance Track shocks and struts with Steeda linear springs and got an alignment immediately following the install. The car is a auto cross/ car show use only car . I'd also be interested in recommended alignment numbers. Thanks in advance for the help.

Just in general I would have the alignment checked at two years with new tires.
Did you change tire size?
Have you seen any abnormal wear on the old tires?
Sorry, no idea on numbers.

I don't re-do alignments unless i notice abnormal tire wear or funky handling.

Tire size is the same 305 rear 275 front. I've been running Nitto G2`s and in a big sweeping turn it feels like the rear end wants to step out on me. My car is Roush Supercharged. Thanks for the info.
