hmmmm....that's interesting since I did notice that in addition to the feathering on the outside of the front tires, the insides are also wearing too quickly. I'm running the fronts at 36psi now, but they were at 32psi when I bought it.

Would you recommend against going to the dealership for an alignment altogether. I hate it when I need maintenance that I can't do myself.

Yeah, I'd suggest finding a really good alignment shop that instead of just trying to make the lights green will understand what asking for "0 dynamic toe" means... most places will just stare blankly when you say that.

Ideally you want to ask around your area for where the guys who go to the (non drag) track get their cars aligned then go there.
