No, motorcycle wheels do not typically require alignment after installing new tires. Unlike cars, motorcycles generally have a single-sided swingarm or a dual-sided swingarm that holds the rear wheel in place and a telescopic fork or inverted fork that holds the front wheel.

When you replace the tires on a motorcycle, you should ensure that they are properly balanced to minimize vibration and improve stability. Balancing involves adding small weights to the wheel rim to counterbalance any weight inconsistencies in the tire and wheel assembly. This process is usually performed by a professional motorcycle technician or at a tire shop.

Unlike cars, motorcycles do not have complex suspension systems that require alignment adjustments.

That being said, it's always a good idea to consult your motorcycle's owner's manual or consult a professional technician to confirm the specific requirements for your particular motorcycle model.
