Alignment question

I just had to replace my two front Michelin PSS due to uneven wear. I'm guessing that it's due to my H&R springs. My two back tires have a bit of life left in them. If I do a alignment now do I have to do it again in a while when I get my back tires replaced? Do you guys recommend going to the dealer for a alignment or a Indy shop that works on bmws?

Usually, it is best to do alignment with all new tires.

r33_RGSport How often do you think one should do an alignment?

My car is 3.5 years old (65000 km) and i have never done one. I have no problems with the steering not being centered.

I just switched onto brand new summer tires and the guys from the Dealership suggested that I should go for it.

The perfect time is when you just changed a new set of tires.
To tell you the truth, I never aligned my cars (except the one that I took it out to the track). The reason being, I don't keep my cars long enough. Haha.

If you drive them everyday and your roads are somewhat bad, I would align every year. I will align mine once I get my X5M lowered.
