Default Alignment, yes or no?

So I am putting new Continental Extreme Contact DWs on my wifes 2013 GS350 F sport (staggered setup).

Because the rears wear more on the inside or outside (I forget which at the moment), should I get an alignment when the new tires go on? The car has 49k miles on it.

Thanks,

Currently I'm aligning my car in the shop right now, because I put new tires on my baby. So yes, I personally took my car to make alignment in my car after I put new tires on it. It is recommended by the manufacturer that way the tires last longer.

Thanks! That's what I was thinking as well. I would hate for the new tires to wear prematurely due to a bad alignment.
