I'm going to replace my tires. Do I need to pay extra for balancing the tires each time i mount new tires? And do i have to do an alignment as well?

 

You must pay extra for mounting and balancing new tires in addition to the actual cost of the tires themselves. You do not necessarily need an alignment just because you mount new tires. It's a good time to check your alignment though to see if it is off.

 

Unless you want your car to shake over the speed of 55MPH you should every single time you mount a new tire have it balanced. Also go to a reputable shop that does this. In Miami 3 out of 4 shops can not get this right! No alignment is needed on your car when you add new tires. Only needed if you mess with the suspension.
