The tire shop I spoke with mentioned to me every time wheel/tire size changes, an alignment and balance needs to be performed, also an odometer calibration is needed.

I see a lot a lot of tire/wheel upgrades on this forum. So, practically, are those step really necessary?

Would they not be balancing the new wheels/tires when they install them??

I have never had an alignment after getting new wheels/tires in my entire life. I have owned over 30 vehicles and have switched out wheels/tires more times than I can count.

I do always get an alignment after suspension work though. And every other year for all other vehicles that my wife drives. 🤣
