its always good to align before you run expensive low profile tires. and when you had the tires installed they should have been balanced

^ not all of em do... i've seen some readouts from ANCIENT machines at firestone.

yeah make sure the tires are balanced when they're mounted, and like ssmoked said you don't wanna waste the expensive tires to bad wear patterns because you didn't wanna pay the $50-70 to have an alignment done. spend now to save later.
