I had new tires installed on an '05 Toyota Matrix XR (FWD) yesterday. BTW, the tires were Continental ContiPro Contact 91V 205/55R16. They replaced the same tires but 91H. 40k miles was achieved but should have lasted longer if an alignment had been performed many moons ago (it is my sister's car). I was also going to have an alignment performed but no bolts or shims readily available. The actual readings are below. What bolts for the front & shims for the rear should I get? What sources online are available or is the dealership my best bet? Do local auto parts stores typically have these (NAPA, etc.)?
Also, what results do I want for this car? Midpoint of the specified ranges everywhere?
