Do you need a wheel alignment when getting new tires on an all wheel drive vehicle?
No. If there had previously not been any alignment issues, and as long as the new tires are properly balanced, you will not need an alignment.
How do you know if your tires need balanced vs. a front-end alignment?
If your car's tires are out of balance it will usually cause a vibration or thumping. If your wheel alignment is out it will usually cause the car to pull to one side.
Why would the front tires be wearing out much faster than the back tires also its an uneven wear mostly on outside of front tires?
You need an alignment to ajust your camber most vehicles wear the inside of the tire on the front and middle of the tire on the rear. Rotating your tire after a proper alignment every 9000 to 12000 mile will inprove your tire life. Four wheel alignment should cost $65 to $100 front wheel 50 to 85.
When do you need front alignment vs 4 wheel alignment?
if you have independent suspention front and rear chances are a 4 wheel alignment can be done typically front wheel drive vehicles but not all.
Why does my steering wheel shake on 1997 Chrysler Town and Country?
Your tires are bad or you need an alignment. Get your tires checked, they may need to be replaced or rotated, and you can check your alignment by letting go of the steering wheel while driving, if it drifts left or right significantly, you need an alignment.
I have a vibration noice in right front side at 70 m. p. h.?

Can you replace just 2 scalloped tires or do you have to replace all 4 and can they be aligned if not rotated receiving conflicting advise?
The tires have nothing to do with alignment. The car could be aligned with the scalloped tires. They are scalloped from bad alignment, shocks, struts or damaged to the front end. An alignment in itself may not fix the problem. There may need to be some new parts installed before the alignment. You only need to replace the two scalloped tires. A four wheel alignment can be done with new ones on the front and old ones on the back. Rotating them at some point will not affect the alignment.
You bought new tiresbefore changing tires you did not need an alignment Do the new tires need a front end alignment?
I'd at least have it checked, just to be sure everything's fine
Do you need a wheel alignment when you by new tires?
Depends on when you had your last alignment and the condition of the tires you removed. It they were wearing perfectly even then you may not need an alignment. If you have not had an alignment in the last 36,000 miles you may very well need one. Judgment call on your part based on the evidence.

How do you know tires need alignment?
It is in the way you wheel wear. If you go to tyre centre they will be able to tell you if you need an alignment as they can see the way you tyres are wearing.

Your driveline may need alignment (front end alignment), you may have warped rotors, or you could have bad "ball joints".
