Default New tires, now pulling to the right

So I got my new Potenza RE760 Sports put on about a month ago. I have noticed that the car now pulls to the right when driving straight on a flat road. It use to be perfectly straight with the stock tires. I assume I need an alignment but before I have one done I wanted to ask. Could new tires cause me to need an alignment?

I always get an alignment check when getting new tires. Mine was pretty wonky when I got my tires installed in April.

Also, have you checked your air pressure?

Yes, air pressures are good.
