Replacement tyres and wheel alignment

[Spud23]

Information.
XJ6V6 2003 77K miles - new to me last week - nice car - 17" wheels!
Two new 235/55 - 17's, Nexen fitted £200 for the pair.
I'm putting them on the front; I don't drive "sportily" and thus figure that I need stopping grip (at the front) rather than anti-slide grip (at the back).
Align-My-Car - as recommended at the recent JEC seminar by Mr Marks:
also having that done to see what's what! Cost = £65 to £75 at ATT Car Auto Centre, Huddersfield.]
Results :-
1. On fitting, the tyre fitting manager almost insisted the new ones go on the rear - who am I am to argue!
2. The alignment check revealed that the front wheel set up was within spec, but the rear wheels were out on "Toe" by about half a degree.
End.
