My car magically aigned itself - is this possible?

I've gone through 2 sets of tires in 50k, in a 4cyl car with 17" AMG wheels. H-rated tires. So, the car had been wearing them oddly, bad cupping, uneven treadwear mostly on the front. Then, the tires I had on it were so bad that I actually spun out merging onto the interstate last week!!

After this, the car started tracking straighter, wasnt wandering as much, AND - the biggie - stopped bouncing around and following the grooves in the road as much. I thought the car needed shocks, then I began to wonder if I had an ailgnment issue, and this somehow made it less controlled on rebound.

I put Mich. Pilot Sport A/S on it yesterday and it feels like a new car. Awesome tires.........tracks straight. Is it possible for a car to realign itself?

Do I need to get the alignment checked IF it is tracking perfectly straight and feels more settled on the new tires?
