Stock Pirellis? The S2000 does not use Pirellis. Doesn't the '04 use Bridgestones?

That is exactly what we had a long time ago with our 2000. We had picked up a nail in one rear tire and it was loosing pressure.

could be a bad belt in one of the tires....go to tirerack.com to read about that. Its rare, but it happens.

About the steering wheel....DUDE, its such an easy fix. Get the alignment, then drive the car. If the wheel is still crooked, then get the tie rods adjusted in the proper direction, keeping the total toe the same.

You may want to consider having the dealership have the car put on a Genesis frame measuring machine and see where it is out of square, or if it is. Many cars are damaged in transit and repaired at the port. Mabye your car is one of these. I think the most important thing is to eliminate potential problems. I bet that there is not any damage in that way, but it seems like a good start.
