9-5 Aero tires: Nokian V vs. Nokian Z & alignment

Well, since I saved all that dough buying a Honday wiper blade insert instead of another Saab wiper assembly, I guess it's time to buy some new shoes. I've been looking at Nokians, and the choice basically comes down to the Z rated tires vs. the V rated ones. The Nokian site describes the V's as being better on "uneven" surfaces, which pretty much sums up (although 'way euphemistically...) what I have to drive over every day.
The tires that came with my 2-year old (now ex-CPO) 2001 Aero were Dunlop Sport 5000's. The two front tires are dangerously cupped after only about 15K miles of strcitly summer driving. There's a lot of stuff on this board about alignment. Can anyone sum up the potential problems/solutions for 9-5 Aero alignment?
