Nope, haven't bothered in years. It's a little twitchy on snow covered roads under power, but far from dangerous. You can see the outer sidewall slightly flexed on my snows, and the full width of the tread is on the road (which you can't see on the summer tires).
Would it be more ideal with closer to factory alignment all around, probably. Have I had any issues at all with it, nope. I've had a couple panic moments where people ran red lights or stop signs and have been able to brake and steer around them.
I run proper snow/ice tires, not performance snows, despite there only being any accumulation of snow on the main roads like 5-6 times all winter.
