Default those experienced with alignment racks

lets say you do an alignment with worn (but evenly worn) tires

then you put brand new tires on, the same size as before, then throw it on the rack again. will any alignment numbers change?

thanks

if you want to read some more:
im getting an inner shoulder wear problem on my FL corner with (properly selected)oversize tires. only thing is, the alingments ive had done were always done on my factory tires. my last alingment was done 8K ago, and only showed bad caster, which doest affect tire wear. im hoping going to the factory size will solve my probs

the alignment shouldn't change, they usually do the alignment with the wheels not the tires.
