Road force balancing is a more sophisticated way of balancing the wheel. You'll have to google for details on the actual differences. For most drivers a standard balance is fine.

Yes, you should have the alignment checked and/or corrected to avoid premature tire wear.
Thanks for the reply. I will have the alignment checked/corrected. I am just wondering if a decent independent shop can handle it or should I take it to a Nissan dealer?

As long as they aren't back there with string and plumb bob, they will most likely do a fine job with your alignment. Make sure they offer a guarantee and a printout of the specs before and after which are pretty standard.

I wouldn't go to the dealer for anything that wasn't warranty work.

I prefer to take mine to a shop that specializes in tires and alignment. I've been using the same shop here in town for over 20 years.

The shop installed the tires and corrected the alignment. I am attaching the alignment sheet. Does everything look good? Thanks.

Is your car stock? I wish I had that much front negative camber. Looks pretty cherry to me.
