I will definitely second that!  I went through three alignments with my GA's.
 Then when I had my Dunlops put on at 30k miles, I told my mechanic, "Do an
alignment, too.  This things always out of alignment."  He said, "Let's get the
new tires on first, and then see."  Just the new tires made it track perfectly
straight!  It was great!
