10K service, Tire rotation = Alignment required?

[RazM]

Howdy, I'm taking my monster for a 10K service and I'm wondering if an alignment is required with a tire rotation?

Thanks

not required nor recommended, unless you've been seriously off-roading and/or hit something.

No. An alignment is not "required". IT's not a bad idea to check it ever 12k miles or once a year but not required. If you look at the tires and there is any abnormal wear (tread not flat and smooth) you should get the alignment checked.Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles (8 000 to 13 000 km).

Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels. See When It Is Time for New Tires and Wheel Replacement for more information.

The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle.
