Ordered some PolePosition P03. Should I change alignment?

Hi everyone.
I decided to switch to P03s to help with wet traction. It seemed to be a nice compromise between the OEM precision, vs. the safety of having some grip when the road is a bit moist (i.e. every night in Florida).
(It was cheaper than I thought: $152 for fronts, $192 for rear, vs. $195 and $224 for Yokahama 0222s). From my experience with the P03s on my other car (Audi TT) the P03s wear quite well for a performance tire.
So my question is: Would it be worth it to change the alignment to old-specs? (My NSX is 2001). Would this give me back some of the precision steering and handling that I have lost by switching off OEM?
I checked the FAQ, and did not seem to find a straight answer, although some members hinted that aftermarket tires + old alignment specs is better.
Thanks much in advance.
 
Try the alignment one way, and if you're not satisfied, have them change it. You can always change it back again.

BTW, I assume you're referring to the Bridgestone Pole Position S03, not P03.

Yup. S03 is what I meant. Brain burp.
