Default negative camber issue

I just replaced my rear oem tires with oem tires again (bridgestone potenza s02 225/50/16) and i noticed that i now have negative camber in the rear. My car is bone stock with no mods whatsoever.. how weird is that

Should I go get an alignment?

Edit: Also I noticed that my old tires didn't have perfectly even tire wear, but when I would look at them from the back the camber seemed alright, now it's alot more noticeable.

If I remember correctly, the factory spec. is -1 degrees negative camber on the rear wheels. The alignment can change from pot holes, going off road, loose adjustment nuts, etc. It's worthwhile to get the alignment as regular maitenence say every year or two. Easiest way to improve your handling.

Inside tire wear is normal, since fatory spec is for some negative camber. You'll notice more inner wear if you do a lot highway and don't do a lot of spirited cornering.
