Not sure I understand how 2 out of 4 responses "convinced" you...

I agree with X5Meister: if the dlr doesn't have a quality Hunter
RoadForce machine or similar, that someone there is very familiar with,
I wouldn't go near the dlr. Of the 3 dlrs I am familiar with, none
have one; two do it half-azzed, in-house, while the 3rd sends tire
work out, except for the quick Biff&BuffBrigade tire mounting.

I would still find the best tire mount joint...as for the alignment,
I would probably use the dlr, though a new set of tires would
not lead me to diagnose that I "must" an alignment, unless the
tire wear showed out of alignment symptoms. Imo, an alignment
is not like going to the chiropractor, but it's your ride.
