Default regarding alignment

Hey guys i recently took my car in for an alignment cause i needed one badly after having my car dropped for a year lol.. now i had a quick question i have also changed my rear tires.. to different tires.. and still have the orginals on the front but there getting pretty worn out so imma change those as well. Now my question is.. that sometimes when i drive.. it feels like i need another alignment but i already got one.. is it cause i need to change my front tires?.. do tires make a huge impact on alignment as well?.. for some reason it feels like i need another one.. but if i just need to change my tires and it will fix it all.. imma go ahead and do that because i have to do it either way.. Please need some help THANKS!

What kind of tires are you running? Can you post your alignment specs?

Worn out tires can definitely affect the handling.
Especially on an uneven pavements.
I felt like the alignment was out of whack on my old car and a set of new tires cleared the problem.
It's hard to check the tire condition on a lowered car, and mine was starting to show the wires!

You should check your tire pressure as well. That could be another culprit and easy to fix.
