No but it would still be a good idea to do it when you put new tires on. A $100. 4 wheel alignment is better than screwing up a $250+ tire. I couldn't believe how much better my car handled after a 4 wheel alignment. I had it done at around 15K.

Considering how much tires cost for our cars, it's a good idea. Take a look at the wear pattern on your old tires. That will give you a good idea of how close your alignment is now. Is it even all the way across the tread surface? Are there any irregularities on the edges? Did both sides wear out at the same time? All indications of alignment wear, but even so, a good alignment is a good investment for a hi-perf car.

If the tire wear on the old tires was good, I wouldn't have an alignment done.
If the old tires had inside wear from too much negative camber or some other wear problem, I'd have it done, but if the wear is good .........
