You "CAN" but even old tires that look good can cause all sorts of trouble that feel like alignment problems. The alignment shop is going to recomend changing them.
they are not always required but if the old tires had an odd wear pattern it would be in your best interest to have an alignment
No, not as long as normal wear pattern on the old ones.
No. New tires does not change alignment settings as alignment settings done with tie rods, camber and caster bolts and not affecetd after tyre changing. Yaa But it should taken under consideration that after changing tyres its better to check alignment because there can be little change in alignment readings due to difference in tyres depths of old and new tyres. New tyres change balancing settings so wheel balincing is must check after changing tyres.
Irregular wear. Lack of rotation or alignment? Possible wheel bearing.

No.

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.
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.
