Maybe you should inflate those tires by 10 lbs when parking there just to compensate, and then let it out when you go to drive it...

I don't like parking on uneven surfaces... Not because it's damaging but because it messes up the stance lol.

He can avert all that by inflating the tires with Nitrogen, hellooo?

You're daily driving is worse on the suspension than anything parking will do over your cars lifespan.

Now, cocking the wheels to one side while its parked is a bad habit. Put's a lot of tension on the tie rods and linkage.
