Hi, I have about 25,000k on these tires/alignment and it's cupping. Gonna replace them but the dealership is 150km away.

The dealer wants 200(wow) to mount balance them plus 120 for alignment. Would it be a good idea to get walmart to put them on, for 75 bucks, then drive 150km for the alignment? I don't want to mess up my new tires or the wear to have a bad start if you know what I mean. Think it'll be fine? Ideally I guess they should be done right after another but...

How bad is your alignment right now?

Unless your steering wheel is sideways, you'll be fine to go that far. That distance is really just wearing off the coating they put on the rubber to keep it from dry rotting on the shelf anyway.

Yeah it worked out pretty good. The alignment wasn't too bad but it definately was off. Huuuge difference new tires and alignment made. Walmart messed up a lug nut and rounded another with their air tools.
