Frt. Tires worn at 9K miles
I just had my 3 year annual oil change/ vehicle check from local dealer. When I picked it up, Service tech advised me that the inside of the front tires was excessively worn, and tires needed changing!! Nothing was mentioned on the service report, but the tires were worn. I plan to take it to a front end alignment shop today to check toe-in, etc.
Surprised that the front is out at only 9k miles, and the wear is this excessive. No front curb bumps that I remember, or other front damage. Anyone else have similar problems??

Unfortunately... a) factory alignment seems to be off, in my case it created excessive wear. Warranty only covered aliment, but not the cost of replacing tires. b) OEM P-Zero tires are not at all durable, even by performance tire standards. Michelin Pilot 4S are both more durable and offer superior grip.

There are changes to alignments that can help remove access wear but they come at a cost for handling sharpness. You rarely get something for nothing.

Chiming in with others, the factory alignments have been spotty. Add to that, the recommended toe-in is much more aggressive than I would recommend. My inner tire wear resolved itself when I had them dial in a fraction of the factory specified toe-in. It also resulted in a lighter feel without any wandering.

I can understand how you feel, but the P-Zero's never last very long. Under the best of circumstances you can expect what ? 15,000 miles. Maybe a little more if you are in eco mode 100% of the time. So worst case they are gone 6,000 miles too soon. And you will be a lot happier with the replacement tires. I have Michelins PS and am quite pleased. On the V70R I went to Toyo Proxies, because I think a idea of an ultra performance tire on that wagon is silly.

It's been my experience, the few new cars I have purchased, the alignments is lacking from the factory. I change the oil real soon after purchase and get an alignment. I learned like you did. Interesting, yesterday I advised my son to get an alignment at 1000 miles on his new vehicle. it's much cheaper than replacing tires.
