I keep the air pressure right and the car had an alignment not long ago by the shop i bought the car from and he said it was good.... Doesn't really seem to pull to the right all that much now since they were rotated. Could it be out of alignment? To much neg camber maybe?

Outside edge of the tire? .... alignment is fine, it's BAD tires that our cars came with. Hard cornering doesn't help either :(

With my tires it's the inside edge(closest to the car) that's wearing weird.....

I'm running into the same thing...see my thread on the problems/solutions forum.

This is the second set of tires. I got rid of those continentals it came with.

On mine, the Alignment specialist couldn't get the rear to come into specs even by going to the end of adjustment travel!

My money is on Robert. Get it aligned and go to a place that can shave your tires to true round. You will feel like your driving on glass.

Works great till your wife hits something...:rolleyes:

in your case with the ware you may need new tires.

DONT just get new tires or the same fate will befall them. Fix the problem then the tires.

And make sure you go to an actual alignment shop. Alot of places will do an "alignment" but may only get it close enough and not actually correct. Ask if you can watch and ask the tech to explain the whole process to you. This will ensure that he actually does a correct alignment and not just close enough.

Not only that you have to watch where you get the alignment done, but also is the machine properly calibrated? ...I had a showdown at Sears years ago, I had them pull me the calibration records ...and what a surprise the machine was off after calibrated by "technician"

I agree with the post about getting an alignment shop to do it. A special shop for a special job.
I've never heard of getting your tires shaved thou.
