Like Scottie said,
radial tires are self-aligning and it's a waste of money. When you detect an uneven wear pattern, it's time for an alignment.
It happened to me. As above, I finally got a correct alignment within a year of new radials.
After a new replacement of a leaking power steering rack, the fronts started squealing in turns on smooth asphalt and were developing a rippled outer surface. (Felt, not seen--a sign of too much toe-in). Crosswinds would cause my vehicle to jump within its lane.
The steering wheel is now straight, so it's like old times.
The original service order included a "four-wheel alignment", which doesn't fit my circumstance (solid rear axle), but it's a 70-mile round-trip to another alignment shop, so I kept my mouth shut.
