It's not required to get an alignment after a tire change. However, if you haven't gotten the alignment checked since buying the car, it's probably a good idea to get it checked as just general maintenance.

Agreed. You wouldn't want to take the risk of your brand new tires wearing unevenly until its too late when you check later.
It shouldn't hurt to get it checked but what did the old tire wear look like?
The old tires will show if there is an issue.
Of course a good alignment, new tires will make it feel like new again.
Smooth rolling
My Lexus and in town Toyota dealer, as well as the Chevy Dealer (Chev. Avalance) all provide the courtesy 4 well alignment check when you
pull into their service bay. Recent oil change at Lexus found my right rear wheel out of alignment. Lexus wanted $160 for 4 wheel alignment.
Toyota was $90 for 4 wheel alignment.
