They do appointments.
They don't mind TIRE RACK.COM (Give them a chance to match price)
Tire Rack will deliver to them and they will call you when tires come in.
RE: alignment
It can be turned into a major production. In days of old, you had a solid rear axial and the only alignment was the front end. Today, even if you have a rear wheel drive car it likely has two independent axials. You can need to have all four wheels aligned-READ THAT AS EXPENSIVE.

Some of the adjustments are not even designed to be adjusted any more ie camber. In most cases an alignment is just toe in.

You?we are not driving a race car. Close enough is fine.

The OP mentions it is a newly purchased used car. I would be concerned and have it checked to see if it has ever been in an accident.
