Tire Basics
The tread of a tire refers to the rubber compound that surrounds the circumference of the tire. It is usually grooved so as to displace water while driving as well as provide traction on loose surfaces. Certain precautions must be taken in order to assure that tires wear properly.

Do I really need to get an alignment when buying a new set of tires?
By not getting a wheel alignment done at the same time of getting a full new set of tires can significantly decrease the life of your tires. After spending all that money to replace them it would be a pity to cut their life short because of opting out of getting a four wheel alignment.
Vehicles are composed of steering and suspension parts and those parts have wear points. These spots are usually bushing, ball joints, and other mechanical components.
The four wheel alignment adjusts the vehicle to make the original factory specs which helps minimize tire wear and allows for a smoother ride and handling.
Alignments on vehicles come out of specs [out of manufacture specifications] because of our roads and driving conditions. Plus, those curbs that came out of nowhere or those pot-holes, can do some damage when it comes to wheel alignments, as well as wheel balancing.
Not getting a wheel alignment while replacing tires results in poor handling and cornering, and a considerable increase in tire wear.
