And back off topic...

Unless you throw in free beef, then it's well worth it!

I'll give you one, got alignment done years ago (not an X5 btw) at a tire shop and <10,000 miles later a BMW dealer tells me I need new rear tires because the wear is horrible (one worn in the middle, another on an inner edge). Never noticed anything strange in driving the car.

However, I have heard bad things about non-BMW authorized shops doing alignments. I am sure some will chime in with horror stories. I would prefer to avoid those stories at all cost.

See Les Schwab has this all planned out. When do you typically get an alignment? Spring/Summer, approximately 10,000 miles later (see roughly February). Oh crap I need new tires! WOW, I will get them at Les Schwab, I get free beef when I buy them! Its really a viscous cycle.

Mike, I know you want some free beef, maybe you could drive up to the Modesto/Stockton area when you need new tires and cash in. Be sure to bring a cooler though!

Free beef, I'd drive down from Alaska.
