I bought the car from one of those small used car dealers, I think the name was Merecedes Motors,and the place was like 200 miles away from where I lived. I bought the car for $19,000 and it was fully loaded with a few slp options, and it had 10,000 miles on it. The only bad thing was the warranty was voided, but because the car was exaclty optioned the way I wanted it, I decided to buy it. The good thing is I have a friend who use to be a mechanic for Chevrolet until two years ago. He is now a General Manager at a Tire Kingdom, so he can get new parts throught the company for a much lower price than the dealer charges me, and he also only charges me $15 an hour for labor

Actually more curious than confused !

On the topic -

I'd agree it is probably bad tires.
It's a good idea to get it aligned with the new tires installed anyway to get it the most accurate.

It was voided because previous owner lived in Texas, and there was a flood. He reported the car had water damaged and collected money from the insurance company. The title was branded with water damage. I had my local dealership run a report on the history of the car and it was towed in. The dealership in Texas did not report any damages, but because the owner had already collected the money from the insurance company and the title was already branded, they cancelled the waranty.
