Default Do I need a alignment?

I replaced all 4 tires on with new tires on my Integra about 3 months ago. I have gone about 5000 miles on them. I was wondering do I need a alignment because I didn't get it done after installing the tires. My alignment still seems straight.

I went to ask about it, to see if I can get a alignment check but the shops I gone to bascially said a alignment is like 3/4 of the work for alignment already, so they would have to charge for the whole alignment.

What do you guys think? Get it done anyway or ?

If you're driving and you let go of the wheel and the car stays straight, save the money.

unless you changed the total diameter of your tires and/or lowered it significantly, no.

Man, I dropped my car 2.5 inches, got 17's and my car pulls like a bitch! Still haven't gotten an alignment in 3 months! That's because i'm poor of course...

If your car is not pulling to the side, and your tire wear is good then you are fine. I get an alignment every time I get new tires though personally.
