Sorry this is long and we'll probably repeat what other people have said .
Not sure what you're driving is like but when I was driving my mustangs if I had to slam on my brakes that can cause flat spots if the lock up. Same with accelerating really fast and spinning the tires, but I assume that's a lot less likely with this vehicle but it can happen off-roading too.
Also Yes, make sure that you're rotating your tires. I do mine every oil change but I think recommended every 7500iles.
I know it's been touched upon but PSI is really important and remember it changes with temperature. If you read the tire pressure when they're cold, it's going to change because of the air inside there gets hotter. It gets denser and so that's going to make it read a lower PSI. Same. If you go into a cold environment, it'll expand and read a little higher, but I don't think I've ever had it. Had too big of fluctuations from this.
Also remember these are independent suspension vehicles so it's not a straight axle. The car moves in an arc as it goes up and down so the tire contacts the ground at different angles. But for this to affect it, the car would have to be riding at a different height a lot of the time.
I think that once you 've checked your tires and they're at the right PSI and then checked your alignment. It's got to be something with the suspension unless like the car's subframes and body somehow got twisted and so it's riding wrong no matter what. I would say it has to be something in the suspension. Maybe you could measure the height that the suspension is riding at from a few different points and then measure another bronco sport of the same trim and see if it's riding at the same heights. Maybe your springs or shocks are messed up and it's sagging or I was just helping a friend with his broncos sport and after we jacked it down and put the tire back on that tire actually got stuck like an inch higher than the other tire and it didn't undo itself until we took off the parking brake and started driving. So maybe it's binding somewhere and the suspension and it's not riding at the right height for all the tires.
