Tires keep looking like this and blowing out. Some friends suggest it's an alignment issue. Others said they checked my alignment and it's good. Driver's side rear looks like the car is almost sitting on the tire. Barely a gap. Passenger side has a normal look and eats tires also. This was the passenger rear tire. I've just bought this car 4 months ago and changed 6 tires on it already just on the back alone (x5) and front driver (x1)

okay so three weeks ago i went to go start it and boom it wouldn’t start no dash lights turn on but the check engine light (as in photo) and refused to start
i have replaced battery starter relay (i know starter is good) ignition switch and camshaft position sensor starter

What are the next steps to get this thing back on the road?

Mazda 6 2015 2.5 L, Mechanic said I have worn out ball joints, I want to know if I can squeeze a 6 hour high way drive out of them. Plus is it a reasonable price?

Hey all, got a P0012 camshaft position timing advance, P0132 02 sensor circuit high voltage, P0328 and knock sensor bank 1. 02 sensor P0132 dropped off. A couple weeks ago it was running very poor low power, had catalytic converter replaced and spark plugs which resolved power issue. Later, low oil level and tick came on threw knock sensor code. Cleared code, oil changed. Tick was not around for a week or so now tick is back with these codes, P0012 and P0328. I cleaned OCV and filter. Tick persists, oil levels look full and clean. Found no metal particles when cleaning, no metal shimmer in oil. Any ideas?

Please rate the job, any tips welcomed.
