Are the 4 tires matched brand-wise? If so maybe someone here has feedback
if they might wear quickly, some could. (not that it would be ideal for tires to wear so fast). Alignment might not be a bad idea.
Low miles, I'd always be wary of very short trips, really tough on oil.
Confirm the health of the lube system. If it had annual changes you should be OK.
As always, be sure PCV mod is up to date, not sure if a fault there could blow oil past seals (or damage seals).
Beyond your initial worries ... enjoy the car!
