No, you do not need new tires to get a wheel alignment. Wheel alignment can be performed on existing tires, regardless of their condition, as long as they are not excessively worn or damaged.

Before you get an alignment do you have to purchase new tires?
No, you do not have to purchase new tires before getting a wheel alignment. An alignment can be performed on your existing tires as long as they are in good condition and have sufficient tread.

How do you know when you need to get an alignment done?
Check your tires. The tread should wear evenly. The steering wheel should not "pull to one side or the other." If either of these is not correct then an alignment is needed.
