Default Car aligned correctly = Nice ride

Took my 84' into the shop this a.m. for the alignment. Several folks from my previous post suggested I not get it done with my current tires since they are somewhat worn from a crappy previous alignment. I proceeded with the alignment anyway. I figure it is worth having it done now rather than ruining what is left of my tires and then getting it done. It cost me $70.00 at a Tires Plus store in Reno. They have the Hunter DSP 400 machine. The tech took his time and let me hang out and observe the process. There was no lifting of the car at all Three of wheels were out of spec on the first check. I was going to scan my printout of the before and after readings but their printer quit printing before the first page was done. Think it ran out of ink. I took a pic of the final screen readout, but it did not come out to good because of glare. The pics of my tires show their condition. As you can see the front is wearing on the inside . The car definately drives better and the the steering feels tighter too. Thanks all for the advice.

I thought you said your tires were nearly worn out. It looks like the most worn part of your tires has more tread than any part of mine....

I ment the inside tread of the front tires was wearing away. I guess I made it sound worse than it really is. Anyway, the car drives much nicer now.
