not quite. i think the tires plays a big part in tracking properly. the fact that the car tracked straight on a worn out tires with bad alignment, that just meant that the setup was worn in/broken in togther (meaning they are all sync). so with the new alignment, it threw off the threadware on the worn tires so there will be rumbling, tracking and maybe some pulling. thats why its always recommended to replace tires and get an alignment.
try to get the alignment specs from the dealer, make sure that the specs are correct. an alignment is only as good as the results. anybody can say they aligned a car but it could still be off spec.
possibly get a new set of tires to see if that helps. if not, go to a good indy shop that has a hunter machine for alignment.
