Not camber. Improper balance, wheels not properly centered on hubs, bad tire, bent rim... take it back and explain.

Thanks, I will take it back. This sucks I can never get 5 star service! I went to discount tire and watched the work to ensure no damage but this is anoying.

With my Michelin Pilot Sport tires approaching 20,000 miles, I am beginning to hear them now. And the tread looks good yet.
Off topic but HOW are you getting 20k out of a set of tires? I'm lucky to get a years worth of driving out of a pair. That is somewhere between 10-15k.
