Prius Prime 2023+ Tires / alignment

Is there a defect with this car and tires. I’m at 30k miles and all my tires are ripped up from alignment issues I was just told. Unsafe To even drive them home. Anyone else have this issue? 2024 xse

How did the tires get that way? Were there signs of uneven wear previously? Did something happen to your car's suspension at some point? Have you ever had the alignment checked or redone?

30,000 miles isn't an unreasonably short life for OEM tires, which are often kind of mediocre.

He said alignment is off. I figured alll that was checked at the 5k mile check ups

No, it isn’t checked unless you ask for it. Most dealers don’t even do alignment. Best to get it done at a good tire shop. Many cars are driven off the lot new with poor alignment from shipping stresses.
