Default Alignment, worn inner shoulder..

just did 15k service on 06 250..

i had to do alignment around 10k, car was pulling towards right,
when i got the car back today,
tech mentioned inner shoulder of front tires were worn,
my advisor tells me it was already worn before the alignment,

but 5k miles after alignment,
shouldn't it start wearing even by now?
i was just wondering, and worried, since our tires cost a fortune..lol..

anyways, when i got the car, i got 24k service for free, so basically 4 free oil changes..
didn't think they'd change the air filter for free too, but they did,
was a nice expierence..

15K is about all you`ll get out of these cars for thead wear. So if you made it this far start looking at tires. Also when you get new tires have the alignment again, its now adjusted for the worn tires.
