New User, Help - Wheel alignment

Hi everyone, just registered today. I own a 2006 ford ranger and I have a question about wheel alignment. I just bought a set of tires a year ago and was wondering should I have to re align my wheels every year or every 5000kms? Thanks.

I honestly don't have the alignment checked on a regular schedule, but I keep an eye on the tread wear of the front tires. If I start seeing something odd I take the truck in to have it looked at. Most of the time it is worn suspension components, not the alignment, causing issues.

Hey, thanks for replying! I just thought changing tires would affect alignment. Suspension's been upgraded so hopefully there wouldn't be new issues with it within the year.
