Yes, I would do it!! I always get an alignment when I get new tires.

Unless you have jacked up tire wear, whats the point?

I never had to even with wheel swaps, but that actually may be something to consider if there is a change in offsets that may need some change in alignment.

Otherwise I would not bother as long as there are no indicators of need.

Alignment not necessary, as new wheels don't change that.

I recommend an alignment check annually regardless, and ALWAYS after you change the suspension geometry (such as lowering the car).

Balancing? Of course.

Just me! When I pay $$$ for a full set of tires I want to make sure they are tracking good from the start! Plus, my local Nissan dealer does it for 1/2 price for me. They also match tire prices for me, give me parts discounts, advice...etc...
