Default Re: Alignment when NEW?

Wilma (8X076028) is not pulling to either side (as far as I can tell), however, I could not detect anything wayward with Fred (the '07) either.....right up until there was almost no outer tread on either front tire at 14,000 miles & then a belt actually slipped on one of the fronts & it became totally out of balance!

I suppose some of that tread could have been lost on those 0.9G decreasing radius off ramps??? But, both sides - outer treads only?

I guess since I found 1 out of 4 dealerships that believed the 1st alignment was covered during the warranty period.....maybe I could go back to them with Wilma & say I suspect it feels out of alignment??? The other 3 dealerships all said it was only covered 12,000 miles / 12 months. Actually, since she only has 800 miles on her....I could fib to any of them....
