Oh okay. I'm just very curious of the outcome. 15k miles out of any tire is ridiculous and definitely something wrong suspension wise.

I've haven't received a response from the service adviser as of yet. I just emailed the service manager and hope to hear something back.

Okay, so I heard back from the dealership that did the alignment. They said they weren't able to save the printout that had what was wrong with the alignment. He said he believed it was the camber that was off. He wasn't very helpful.

There isn't even enough camber adjustment from stock to cause that. That's why everyone has to get aftermarket camber bolts/camber arms to adjust their setup when lowering the car. ^ this above

What a bunch of bullshit. I'd go up the chain at that dealership.

That was from the service manager. Lol, I've just accepted they have no idea what they're talking about.

My beef isn't really with that dealership. It's with the one here in town that marked the tire tread sheet. THOSE are the morons (and in part myself for not thinking to check the tread before a 1,000 mile roadtrip).

Did you end up talking to that dealer?

You would have to be running so much neg camber to do that sort of wear the stance guys would be jealous. It was not camber. Its toe. They think you don't know what those words mean.
Did you end up getting an alignment to put everything where it needs to be? If you haven't you will just destroy whatever new tires you get. Make sure you get the before/after printout when you do.

Going this weekend. By the time I'm off work they're usually closed.
@Nix Yeah, I had it aligned when they put the tires on.

I still haven't seen an alignment sheet... I know you said the 1st dealership didn't have one (some B.S. excuse about not having it) but what about the 2nd dealership? The place you got an alignment after the new tires.

I should probably clarify. 1st dealership (the one I bought the car from in GA) did an oil change and a tire rotation, not an alignment. The second dealership who I bought the tires from did an alignment but can't provide the sheet. Sorry for the confusion.

I went to the dealership today and spoke with the service manager. He said the tires aren't under warranty and he blamed it on a poor alignment and said that they wouldn't be able to do anything for me. Cool cool cool.
