Default regarding alignment again

Ok this is probably a stupid question.. but i got an alignement like 2 weeks ago.. and it seems like the car still needs one.. now my front tires are all worn out.. could that be the issue?.. there not badly worn out but u can totally tell that i need new tires..Everytime i drive when i put my steering wheel all the way in the middle it pulls to the left.. but when i slightly tilt it to the right its normal.. but i posted before and some people tell me its because of the tire wear out.. i also have different types of new tires in the back.. not the same potenzas.. is that an issue 2?.. i dont see why i should have an alignment problem if i just got an alignment not to long ago.. need some help thanks!

did you get a stock alignment?

check your tire pressures. your front tires could definitely be an issue. i have the uk alignment and if the road isn't perfectly flat, my car will not drive straight.

my tire pressure should be fine i checked it recently.. but tires are worn out.. and i got my alignment after i lowered my car on springs.. but i got the alignment some people are telling me that i just need to change my tires cause there worn out.. my left driver side is pretty bad .. my passenger side one is bad 2.. but not as bad.. its just annoying how my steering wheel is a little to the right sometimes.. it feels like i need an alignment

why don't you try putting on new front tires? since they need to be replaced anyway.

how long did you wait after you installed your springs to get your alignment? usually people wait 1-3 weeks so that the springs can settle first.

tires are probably shot. theres not much that can be done except deal with the pull or swap them. i had a bad alignment and drove it for a few months like that, so it's going to cost me 2 new fronts.
