We have a lot of hills around here, so curbing your wheels is generally recommended. Occasionally a citation is given for not doing it, even on streets where there's barely an incline. I was always taught point the front wheels towards the curb when parked downhill, away from the curb uphill against a hard curb (so that it will stop if it rolls), and towards the curb uphill against a soft curb (so it rolls away from the street).
Most people around here do it right, but against a hard curb I prefer to actually contact the curb, even if the tire is compressed against it. Others curb their wheels, but not against the curb. Is there any advantage to either way?
