I kinda have to agree with Tom. Alignments have to be one of the most over-sold services when it comes to car maintenance.

If the tires didn't wear abnormally and the car rolls straight down the road then I would consider another option like order the tires you want from one of the online tire houses like Tire Rack, Simple Tires, Tires-Easy, Amazon, etc. - wherever you find the best price. They'll deliver them to your house often with free shipping. Then throw them in the back of the vehicle and head down to the local mom and pop tire shop (preferably not one of the big rip-off chain stores) and have them mounted for $50-60. Skip the alignment. You will most likely come out of it for much less that $1400.
