    Default Laser Alignment question

    I have some tire wear on the insides of the tires. I still have some miles left in them. Would it be OK to get the alignment then change them? I see ROLO is going to be in Sedona AZ early Nov and since that will be the closest probably for a long time. I live in Albuquerque NM and was wondering if it would be OK to do the align before buying new tires. Thanks in advance for advise.

    The laser alignment fixes toe in/ toe out, I would say go for it.


    Of course someone more knowledgeable may disagree. Lol

    I asked the same question before getting mine done at spyderquest. the answer is it will not change anything by changing the tires, so go for it!

    I asked the same question of Lamont. His answer was the laser alignment is done on the hubs, not the tires. So go for it... Stan

    I had some inside wear on the Right front. Laser alignment later, the wear of the rest of the right front seem to balance out and
    I have at least 4000 miles since and I expect to keep ryding on. Not sure of your wear, but highly recommend the laser alignment to salvage what you have and to extend what you will get when you replace the tires. I do recommend the 'zeroing out' of the steering after the alignment. When mine was 'zeroed' I felt an even better steering balance. Good luck!

    Default NEW NAME

    We are going to unveil a new logo for the Spyder Laser Alignment System..it was always just called ROLO which was a shortcut name for the high school pals of Robinson and Loescher but it sounds too "soft" for the Alignment

    So ROLO will still be the name of the floorboards but OUTLAW LASER ALIGNMENT will be the new name for the alignment system
