flu, where did you sign up for the “lifetime” alignment? I just got my 3rd alignment in 5 years and they are up to $85 ea now for my car (Sears). Four Michelin Pilot Exaltos are $561.33 with tax (+ $7.50 ea fees, $2.99 ea valve stems and $16.68 ea for opt “Road Hazard Plus” agreement) at Sears.[/quote]

All you need to do to get a lifetime alignment is to walk into almost any tire store.. Like evans tire, or firestone, or big-o or goodyear…Etc…

Current regular price at evans i believe is
$80 for 4 wheel
$150 for 4 wheel up to 5 years
$199 for 4 wheel lifetime

But they usually give you a discount because for them, it doesn’t cost them really that much more to check your alignment (just labor). Just call stores up..It’s extremely competitive these days. The installer that did my tires asked me if I wanted a lifetime alignment for $199, but was going to sell it to me for $169. I told them I already had one at evans. Then they said, understood, but if it was more convenient for me, they could drop the price of the alignment to $139. I would tell you where I got my installation done but I just don’t want to embarass them on the internet….because though they made a mistake, I thought they were cool and nice about it and fundamentally liked them..

FYI: there are two different Michelin Pilot Exaltos.
There is the Michelin Exaltos A/S, which is an all-season tire. There is the Michelin Exaltos PE2, which is the summer performance tire. Also, for the Exaltos A/S, there is a $20 price difference between getting an H rated or V rated tire…If you can run H rated, that’s great….
