Technically speaking the tires do not require alignment. It is the wheels and their axles that are aligned. The reason is that the attachment points for the axles are constantly moving and incur wear. In addition, the axle's supports can be bent by the vehicle hitting a pothole or striking a curb. The resulting misalignment causes the wheels and tires to not track properly (all point in the same direction). This causes the tire to scuff as it travels over the road. This scuffing wears out the tire prematurely and increases the misalignment. So the simple answer as to why wheels/tires should be aligned is to save the tires from being worn out before their time.

I don't know which of the two tires are winter and which are summer It has been 3 months since summer started should I change tires in case I am using the wrong ones?
Typically, Winter tires have a more aggressive tread design to enable better traction in snowy conditions. If you are unsure about them now, it may be a little late anyhow because Summer is only going to be around another few months. Snow tires do wear faster than all season tires though, so keep that in mind. They usually have a softer compound. To tell how much of treadlife you have left, use a penny upside down inserted into the tread. If you can see Lincoln's hair then you need tires. A better test may be to use a quarter and do the same test. If you see Washington's hair then you have time to look for new tires before they get real bad or even illegal.

How often i have to do wheel alignment?
It's a good idea to have your wheels aligned whenever their alignment changes. Your alignment changing depends largely on how you drive your vehicle. Generally, it's probably a good idea to get your tires aligned at the same time as you rotate them. Look at your tires, worn off on the inside or outside of the tread? you need alignment. Worn off in the middle of the tire, too high of tire pressure. Scalloped looking on the edges, you need shocks. If you like to "find" the curb every time you park your car you will need alingnments more often. Dodge holes in the road and stay away from curbs and if the tires look good, don't sweat it.
