Tracking.... Is that British for suspension alignment? I usually get mine done whenever I buy tires, but it depends A LOT on how many potholes you drive over.

Is the steering pulling one way or another?

Aye, that's the one Jim, the wheel alignment. It slightly (very slightly) pulls to the left

It costs about £35 to do a laser wheel alignment and all the print outs including before and after, so really worth it. (saving on fuel )

Yep, lots of potholes here mate

Yeah, I like to get before & after printouts, so I can judge whether I need to get alignments more often in the future.

Alignment saves on tire lifespan too...

Today I have to change my oil, been 4,500 miles since my last one. Mostly highway and the oil is still pretty light, but I noticed she's leaking a little (~1 drop every 5 minutes) and I'm not sure how long that's been going on, hoping I'm not low. Also gonna give the K&N filter a wash and clean my battery posts, they're really cruddy

I know a couple guys from UK who have come over here. It's really funny when someone complains of the price of fuel within earshot of the UK guys...
