[V8] Alignment specs

[Coleman, David]

Well since I also don't have an alignment rack, and will sooner have my
tires wear out prematurally than have the local grunts completely eff-up
my car.... not to mention having other cars that are submitted to my
wife's less-than-stellar driving prowess.... I find myself on tirerack's
website more often than most folks.    And it'd sure be nice (and
inexpensive) to just mount/balance the new boots my dang self, right
where UPS drops them off!
 
Oh, and then there's the race car, the trailer, the neighbor's XK120,
the other neighbor's off-road toys, etc...

	Doesn't everyone have a hoist?  HeHe.  I waited years to get to
where I could manage that purchase, of course.
	 
	But why would you need a tire machine if you have spare wheels
and tires?  Or is it too much work to switch?  Before hoist, I did it in
the driveway on jackstands for quite a while.
