Alignment question

I have a simple question related to alignment..

I just replaced the stock 245/75 tires with BFG AT/TAs in 265/75. I am pretty sure I don't need to get an alignment 'cause no suspension changes were made..but I just wanted to run it past you guys to make sure I don't hose my new tires

The ride is a bit higher and the tires are bigger but it seems to me that the angles should all be the same..I am just being cautious.

thx

If you're old tires were wearing ok and if there's no odd feeling in the steering (pulling for example), then you are fine. Be aware that larger diameter tires will slow down your speedometer.

What about toe-in? Never had a car or truck that upon checking the alignment did not require toe-in adjustment.

My 2 cents
