That is why I do an alignment every time I replace tires, now. Regardless.

Unless you change the tire specs or hit a huge pothole, an alignment isn't usually necessary. You can usually tell improper wear pattern from the old tires. It would have to be really way off to chew up a tire on single trip. Doesn't hurt to align every time you replace tires if you don't mind paying.
