Some people park their cars with wheels turned and other do not. I myself like the straight wheels while parking. But technically, are there any problems if I park not straight ?

Evo said:Remember you want to turn your wheels so that if the car rolls, it rolls into the curb, not into the road. Parking downhill, tires toward the curb, uphill, tires away from the curb.

Yes, it is recommended to park your car with the wheels straightened. This helps to prevent damage to your tires and steering system.
If you park your car with the wheels turned, it can put unnecessary stress on your steering system and cause uneven wear on your tires. This can also make it difficult to back out of a parking spot.
No, it is not recommended to park your car with wheels turned on a hill. This can cause your car to roll and potentially lead to accidents. It is better to park with the wheels straightened and use your parking brake.
It is still recommended to park your car with the wheels straightened, even if you have a front-wheel drive. This will help to prevent unnecessary stress on your steering system and tires.
Yes, it is important to turn your wheels towards the curb when parking on a hill facing downhill. This will help to prevent your car from rolling into traffic if your parking brake fails. If you are parking on a hill facing uphill, turn your wheels away from the curb.
