I just had my tires rotated at Costco and the rep said that the inner tires are wearing more then the outer tires and I should get wheel alignment. Does it matter if I go to either NTB or Firestone instead of the dealer?

 

Once they have top techs and a good alignment machine (Hunter) it should work out. Make sure the camber is correct as well.

 

tech and machines are key, not the shop name (dealerships or local shops). correcting camber is important, but toe is probably just as crucial

 

Totally forgot about toe Yup you are right.

 

Thanks guys!

Well I guess I have a dilemma. I took it to a well know alignment place in IL right after I purchased my new tires from Costco about 1.5 years ago. Now I have the same problem I had then before I purchased new tires. My tires are again cupping due to the inner tire wear. Is it too late for a wheel alignment?

 

well of course on this set of tires it might not last as long, but it will help
