Alignment Question

Wondering when an appropriate time for an alignment is/how frequently its necessary. The last one I had was when I had my camber plates installed and I was running the stock 245/265 tires. Around Thanksgiving I swapped to 265/35/19 and 285/35/19s without an alignment. Today I'm getting my track setup ready; 275/35/18 square. My question is, is another alignment needed after swapping to larger street tires and then swapping in between track and street tire sets?

No need to get another alignment when you swap tire sizes. Tires don't change suspension geometry... And I would think every 2 years or so you could get an alignment checked if you are anal about it. Otherwise, if you hit a pothole or notice uneven tire wear, upgrade suspension parts, change ride height, notice the steering wheel is off center, the car doesn't drive straight, or something else like that.
