Default When tire wear is excessive on either the inside or outside of the tire.

Don't go getting expensive alignment when you don't need it. Just cause the car pulls one way or another is not a reason to get it aligned. If this is the case, check your tire pressure and also be aware of contours in the road, because they are usually the reason for a pulling car.

Default Unless you lower your car or run into a curb, etc., you shouldn't need to do alignment.

If your car runs straight without any unusual tire wear, alignment is not needed.

Default Unless excessive tire wear on outside is caused by track usage

In which case the alignment won't help much since you can't add any negative camber.
