Default Alignment Frequency?

How is everyone's alignment?

Opted for a 4 wheel alignment at 18k as there was feathering on the front outer blocks.

4k later and after a tire rotation from the front to the rear, the front outer blocks have feathering once again.

Looking at CPO LS 500s, it's interesting that I've seen a handful do a 4 wheel alignment every 10k...

I currently have to get a wheel alignment and can say this as well. Purchased tires last year and already they need to be replaced, I dislike these tires so much.

What tyres are you on?

I'm still on the factory OEM Dunlops and they still have 7/32" left on them as I check the tyre pressure monthly cold

The worthless OEM Bridgstone run flats, can't wait to get them off. I do check the tire pressure but it is probably the lowered affect and the low profile tire combo that make it worse, I think I have gotten about 12,000 miles out of these tires.

OEM tyres are great. I think I should be able to get 30k out of them!
