Im in the process of replacing my upper control arms for the front both driver/passenger side but i also need new tires i'm asuming i should get the control arms work done first so i can have an alignment done more properly but would i be able to change the tires first while i wait for a piece on the control arm i ordered to come in or should i hold on the tires until i have replaced the control arms. Still driving car while i wait in the parts to and from work 30m hwy rnd trip road is semi bumpy. All 4 tires being replaced with new ones. Sitting on double wishbone. Bushings are worn and passenger side which is arm im waiting for is possible bent. What would an estimated price be to replace the front upper control arms assembly if i provide parts, i'd really appreciate any info/help/advice on this matter. Thank you for your time as well.

Meant 30 minutes round trip on highway also the car pulls to the right sometimes not as often and not a heavy pull.

i'd wait as it is probably camber that is off and would wear on edges. If old tires are ok and not bald but if worn down to far then replace them.
