Patching a speed rated tire is not a great idea. You can do it and get away with it, but your asking for trouble.

If your doing 150mph and it lets go because the tires do get hot then what? You're dead. If it's in the deep part of the tread then usually ok, if its in the shallow part near the wear bars your askin for it but can get away with it. If you on the outside near the sidewall your just retarded for fixing that.

I know tires are expensive but so if your car and life is pricess so don't chance it.

Regarding the algnment, if you hit a curb and poped it then yeah you'll need an alignment. If you just picked up debris off the road, I wouldn't worry so much about it.
