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. However, if your tires are worn out or damaged, it may be advisable to replace them first to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Do you need new tires to get wheel alignment?
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. However, if your tires are significantly worn, it might be a good idea to replace them before or shortly after an alignment to ensure optimal performance and safety.
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.
Should you get a wheel alignment before you get new tires?
Good idea to do at the same time

No.
What should I know before I purchase new tires for my truck?
You should check to see if your tires are bald and are not durable anymore.
Can you replace just 2 scalloped tires or do you have to replace all 4 and can they be aligned if not rotated receiving conflicting advise?
The tires have nothing to do with alignment. The car could be aligned with the scalloped tires. They are scalloped from bad alignment, shocks, struts or damaged to the front end. An alignment in itself may not fix the problem. There may need to be some new parts installed before the alignment. You only need to replace the two scalloped tires. A four wheel alignment can be done with new ones on the front and old ones on the back. Rotating them at some point will not affect the alignment.
You recently bought new tires one week old should you have your wheels aligned or does buying new tires negate the alignment need?
new tires does not mean you don't need alignment. it is always a good idea to have the vehicle aligned after new tires are purchased to avoid premature wear, even if the car shows no sign of mis-alignment.
Can you do a alignment with bad tires on the vehicle?
You could, but it would be more accurate with new tires.
