if you hit something..
it really depends how you drive, some vehicles dont need to be touched, ever. I only align my truck when I get new tires, about every 60K miles, and even still, it doesnt really need it... but we have had several cars that need it more often than that. every 6 months, or so.. you can tell by the wear on the tires.

Do new tires require a wheel alignment?
Not necessarily. If the car was in alignment prior to getting the new tires, it will be in alignment after the new tires. It isn't a bad idea to check the alignment periodically and it is probably better to check it more frequently than when you get new tires.
When do you need tire alignment?
every time you get new tires and when you hit a really hard pothole, when your car starts pulling, or if your in a collision.

Do new tires need alignments?
Tires and alignment are separate things. Each new tire needs to be balanced after being mounted on the rim. This makes sure they don't vibrate and wear unevenly. Alignment on a car has to do with where the wheels are pointed. The angle of all wheels should be perpendicular to the ground under its own weight. The front and rear wheels, from one side to the other, should be pointed down two lines that are perfectly parallel. Bad alignment on your wheels will show up in the tread wear. Wear patterns can identify what is wrong with your alignment.
