We need more info. When was the last time you did a wheel alignment? A tire change doesn't necessitate a re-alignment unless it's been a while since your last alignment.

not totally needed, but it is always best to get it done when you get new tires because you want your new tires to wear properly.

+1 on the alignment. It's good insurance on you investment in tires and it will also insure that you get the best performance out of them.

Gonna be tough to get more than 15K miles for the front, even with
least aggressive alignment. I'm about to go on my 3rd set with less than 35K miles.

Yes, it's generally a good practice to get the alignment done in conjunction with getting new tires.

I made it past 30k on the fronts with Potenzas. It all depends on how you drive!
