Question Wheel alignment - yea or nay?

Ok, it's getting close to the time to order those Yoko' AVS Db's, since I've "screwed" around long enough & would like to make it to Lafayette on "real" tires for a change. Should I part with the extra 60 bucks to get an alignment? The car exhibits none of the pulling, or drifting off center stuff that would make the choice obvious. The tread on the 3 remaining Dunlops & their distant cousin, the Bridgestone, shows no uneven wear. In the interest of adhering to the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", adage; should I subject the car to the unknown just to help pay off that 100K Hunter alignment machine? Or - should I just install the tires & see how they perform & wear for 30 days or so, & then do the deed if necessary?

I bow to the wealth of educated guesses & hearsay of the group.
TIA - Ron.
