Previous tires wore well and car doesn't pull, I say no need for an alignment.
Have an 01 Civic EX with ~105k (at the time), never had an alignment, previous tire sets wore fine, no pull. Bought new Gen HP's and decided what the heck, couldn't hurt. Took it to the Honda dealer, who happened to be a cheap as anyone around.
Put it on the rack and it was within spec, didn't make any adjustment at all. What bugs me is, if it's within spec they don't do anything, or bring to middle/center spec. They were done in no time and I was out ~$55. So lesson learned for me, if it's not broke ie., no bad wear or pull, I'll skip the alignment. JMO.
Now if as mentioned, one can get a free/low cost alignment check, that would be another matter.
