This depends on what is needed to be aligned. You have three important angles caster, camber, and the toe. Caster being out of spec does not cause tire wear so this is the least important in relation to tire wear.
Camber is angle of the tire of the top and bottom tilting in or out away from the vehicle in relation to the center point of the wheel or the hub. This will cause inner edge of tire wear when it tilts too far in toward the vehicle. Outer edge tire wear when it is tilted to far out away from the vehicle.
Toe is when the leading edge of the tire is pointed further in or out in relation to the trailing edge. This will cause abnormal wear pattern across the tire.
Here is a guide and document that will help with this. Thanks
