Question Alignment nessesary after tire install?

Getting all 4 tires put on and I'm wanting to know from the Gurus here whether an alignment is nessesary.

The Chrysler dealer said it was not nessesary unless I felt a pull to one side after install.
If I wanted/needed the alignment it would be $59 + tax, which seems low to me.

that dealer is correct if old tires where wearing alright don't touch alignment.

As long as there is even tire wear on the old tires and no pulling to one side or another, leave well enough alone.

All that can be set is toe, so it shouldn't cost much.

As others have said...if your tire wear is good and you're not getting any abnormal driving dynamics, probably no reason to get it aligned.
