Tire replacement with same model and wear

I blew out my front tire. Do I need an alignment if I replace the blown tire with a used tire of the same brand and similiar tread wear?

First off,
Depending how far and fast you drove and how much damage you did while driving on a flat is what will determine if the vehicle requires repair and alignment.

Thanks Richard. Was driving about 10-15mph when I clipped a curb. After that, drove on it for about 30 yards to put the donut on in a safe location.

I’d say to just put the tire on, and see how hard it pulls after, and go from there.

Kissing a curb is never a healthy thing for a front end.
My suggestion would be to invest in getting the front end alignment checked.
