Escape rear alignment ?s

The rear tires on my girlfriend's 02 Escape 3.0 2WD are worn bald. I assume it needs a rear alignment, but how much room for adjustment is there, and any idea how much it should cost?

It has 15" wheels/tires on it, tirerack.com seems to think OE should be 16". She got this truck last year, maybe these aren't the original tires/wheels?

15" wheels sure seem small for a V6. The 2002 Tribute (Escape clone) came with 16"ers. I would double check that for certain.

Went ahead and got the 4-wheel alignment from the local dealer, it was about $47. Also got 4 Firestone Indy 500 tires, my GF loves the ride and says it handles much better in the curves.
