You can do alignment:
If you see uneven tire wear after 4 months
If you change ride height (lowering springs or coilovers)
If you buy new tires and it's been 1-2 years since last alignment
If you have really bad roads and lots of potholes- do it once yearly
If you make suspension upgrades or adjustments and ride quality gets harsher.

i align when the car starts to feel sloppy or when it starts
tracking to one side, tires wearing unevenly based on the
alignment i had it set at, etc.
