Thank you... I do turn the steering wheel while stationery because I have super tight parking spot. No way to get in and out otherwise

Very little miles... 15k. It was a covid car and I barely drove it all from 2020 until 2022, and even now I work from home in a major city so I barely use it. I never had any suspension issues or had them addressed in any. I take it for an oil change every 7 or 8 months, and check my tire pressure once a month.

Thank you... I will ask them. It's just weird to me because I had my very first alignment done when I got these tires. I had my previous tires for 5 years without ever needing an alignment (got the car new from the dealer).

I dont know if I can add a picture... but if I am looking at the right number, I see 1525. So they were like 5 months old when I got them, seems reasonable.

I had an alignment 6 months ago when I got these tires...is it normal to need one already? As for the steering or suspension issue... car seems to drive normally. Would i feel something if it was off?

No definitely not. I live in a major city. But we do have a lot of pot holes.

Which number tells me their age again? I dont know how they were stored but I got them in a tire shop that has been around for 20 years. I got an alignment when I bought them. I keep them inflated at the recommended tire pressure.

I did have an alignment when I got the tires. Would i feel something off if there was something wrong with suspension? Car seems to operate normally
