Wheel Alignment ?

Got new tires today, but the alignment shop is busy until Monday. I will have put about 150 miles on by then.

Is that OK?

I know the car is out of alignment because inside edge of both front tires were gone.

Lots of alignment shops. Few recommended shops were booked this afternoon.
Plus, a few of us work full time.

I gave up that work thing a few months ago! Have all day to get nothing done. I don't know how I did all things that need to be done when I did work.

wait for the best shop; drive as little as you can. no burnouts or 10/10ths curves either.

Even if your present alignment is awful, 150 miles between now and Monday shouldn't hurt your new tires. I'd call ahead to make sure that the alignment shop has an up-to-date Hunter machine and a tech who knows how to use it.

Hey, hey, hey. Let's keep the 4 letter words like "work" off this forum. I prefer to be gainfully unemployed & retired so I can spend my days driving and cleaning on my prized Corvette.
