I just had my car have a an early 75k oil service and mot. the car failed it's mot due to both front tyres being down to the carcass on the inner sides. all four tyres were less than a year old.

Mine went out last year and I had it re-aligned pretty rapidly. No use dragging rubber around the place. |

£100 is cheaper than 4 new tyres a year by my reckoning |

Nothing better than a Range that tracks nicely with zero adjustment required. Well worth regular alignment at least at every tyre change. |

proper 4 wheel alignment on something like a 'hunter' set up will cost around the £100 mark. ... - .- -.
