I had replaced the 4 tires on my 2014 RDX 21,000 miles ago. Currently I am at 395,500 miles approx.

Front two tires are bald compared to rear tires. I had noticed the tires were making noise when making turns.
I wasn't paying attention much at all to wear & tear. Recently looked at them to see wear as I didn't rotate them in the past 20K miles. Yikes.

Is this due to alignment? If not, what else could cause this?

What tires are you all using? I had a lot of success with Toyo CUV tires (235/60/18) but they had been discontinued.

The pics show the front 2 tires and one of the rear tires that isn't worn out.

Thanks.

Another thing I am wondering about. The steering wheel seems off kilter. I mean the A on the steering wheel is slightly pointing to the right. This is when I am going straight. If I turn the steering wheel to point A correctly, the car starts moving left on the road and not straight. Is this connected somehow to my front tires being worn out? Thanks.

Both are a sign of alignment issues

How could you let them get so bad? Sorry not trying to be an a$$ but those are way pas their expiry date. I agree with Thoiboi, have you checked tire pressure? That plus what TB said could be some of your issues.

I'd be leaning towards it being an alignment issue.

What brand/model of tire is that, and how long (time) were they on the vehicle? Any idea what the date code is on them? The last picture that shows the sidewall looks like it has seen A LOT of sun. Even if they were new when you bought them, if they spent a few years on the shelf before you bought them, that could lead to faster wear as well.

As far as what tires I'd get, whatever Costco has with a good rating online and decent cost. Currently on Bridgestone's, had Michelin's before that.

Did you ever rotate your tires?

Toyo tires have been great for my ride also. They don't have the size you requested , but there are other sizes that they do have that will work for you.
Having almost 400,000 miles on the ride and not knowing what work , if any has been performed on the front suspension, I would start with upper and lower
ball joints or just replace the control arms on both sides.. Springs are also probably shot. With that many miles (traveling salesman for 40 year's, I put miles on cars)
you might just need to replace the whole front suspension on both sides. Thats gonna cost ya,,you think the 400k miles on the car , the work might be more that the
cars worth?

That's pretty bad for 21,000 miles. Like others mentioned, I would definitely get the alignment and have a mechanic look at your suspension.

The other question I have is what is the tire pressure?
