I also notice the front tires are starting to wear somewhat unevenly. The car had an alignment the day I purchased it because although it tracked well on the roads, the steering wheel was off center. Anyone else having similar issues? Thanks.
my steering wheel was off center today. i thought i f-ed up and hit something. but i check the tires and they were actually 40psi, so i let the air out. and i went to my fav mechanic and they checked it out. basically it was just that the tires are worn out unevenly. he said that is normal, and when you drive in LA, no street is perfectly paved and stuff, he said that there was no alignment problem with my baby.

basically check your tires and see the air pressure. and you should probably visit a mechanic because you really don't know why the steering wheel is off center unless a mechanic looks at it.
