New Tires and a Wax Job

Yesterday I decided to pamper my car so I gave it a nice 2 hour wash and a 2 hour wax. Took for-freaking-ever. Lol, I took some pics of the tires I got the day before the way. I put on some tire wettener. They look sweet. They're Falken Zeix 205/60R15s. They didn't have 205/55R15s so I just got the 60 series. Here are the pics.

Front side waxed

Angle shot

Pic of the tread

Tire specs

Went to get an alignment done yesterday too. FOund out, I have a bent frame ;_; so gay. Any suggestions on what to do?

Tough call, but if you do get it fixed I would go with palce that has laser frame alignment.
