The off center steering wheel is not alot, just a tiny bit. But that won't affect my tires alot, would it?

If the wheels are aligned properly, and the steering wheel itself is not set correctly, you will have no effect at all on the tires. If the alignment is off, it can cause abnormal tire wear.

If your car tracks straight when you let go of the steering wheel on flat ground...More than likely no. It won't affect your tires.
If you have to hold the steering wheel in a certain position that is off center for your car to track straight then Yes!

Yes it will. You most likely will need an alignment. What's going to happen is that your tires will wear out unevenly and that will cause you to replace them more often. Another thing that you might want to consider is that if you have warranty on your tires and you take them back to the shop to replace them, you are most likely voiding the warranty. They call it operator negligence. Negligence because you are aware of your problem and have neglected to remedy it.

You need an alignment. This can cause uneven or excessive wear.
