with the wider tires, you should have felt that you more grip.. if you take turns a lil faster, your tires wont schreech. but you would encounter a tiny bit of a harsher ride. a 45 ride profile isnt bad, just dont go below that, then you may damage the wheel if you hit bumps or pot holes. hope that helped.. it also depends mainly on the tire itself, the kumo it the lowest tire in its class? what is the speeed rating on the tire?
wheel algiment would only help with steering virbration.. but yes it is def recomended to do the wheel aligment.
