Either way. The alignment is based on the position of the wheels not the tires. Just don't wear out good tires due to misaligned wheels.

Ok, I know this is a silly question but here it is anyway. 
 
I bought new tires this past summer - well apprently my alignment is off 
(although not real noticeable while driving) and it seems the front driver's 
side tire has some terrible wear on the inside. 
 
So I need a new tire - but do I get an alignment first or the new tire 
first? Again it may be a silly question but I really am not sure.
