Default Alignment with new tires?

I've put about 1500 miles on my car since I had spri ngs/shocks installed. Had an alignment and corner balance at that time. I've not hit any curbs or road hazards. I just bought pilot sports from Tire Rack-do I need an alignment with the new tires? I'm not trying to be cheap and will do it but my current alignment seems fine. No odd tire wear, etc.
What's the consensus? I have a feeling it's a no brainer but I thought I'd ask...
Thanks in advance,
chuck

Nope, should be OK as longs as your old tires were not worn weird. If everything is OK (as you indicated) then drive it.

Cheers,

Mike

Thanks guys.

I'm anxious to run the Pilot Sports-my Continentals finally wore out.

remember, go on easy for the first 150-200 miles, especially not being agressive in curbs, just to (bed?) the tires, any tire manufacturer recommends this.
