Hello guys I got in a fender bender last week and ended up needing a bumper and headlight and maybe a hood, but anyway I got 2 new front tires in the mean time. I held off on the alignment because the car was going right to the body shop the next day and I wanted to make sure there was no other front end issues. Anyway there was a change of plans and I ended up sourcing the parts I needed myself and scheduled the alignment for 2 days after I got the tires I ended up driving 250 miles total on the new tires to get my new bumper the day before my alignment appointment, and I get home and notice the belts are once again showing on the insides of my brand new front tires. I guess what I’m asking is could this really happen just from the alignment being really bad ?? I mean the steering wheel has to be almost a half a turn to the right for the wheels to be straight. I just want to make sure this is possible and there is not some other front end damage causing this issue. I literally didn’t even run a whole tank of gas through the car with the new tires and they are shot!! Thank you in advance

P.S the shop was Firestone because it’s close by the house and of course they try to up sell me on brakes and rear tires and they did say I needed an alignment which I scheduled once I decided I wasn’t going to body shop but they never warned me that if I drove like that for 2 days the tires would be ruined again
TIA
