R50/53 Tire Wear
Tire Wear
I have only 3,300 miles on my Mini, and the inner halves of my front tires are very worn down.
I'm wondering if I could get this fixed for free at the dealership being that the car is so new.

I would think if you went into dealer and was questioning the odd wear - they might diagnose your front end out-of-alignment and in that case they might pay for partial tire cost or might just align your MINI for free and let you deal with the tires. Who knows, a lot of the time it seems they are helpful to even people out of warranty. I am dealing with a tranny that is from the first gen. of pre-getrag units. No problems yet other than reverse is sometimes hard to get into, but the dealer said they'd work with me on getting problem fixed - which means I could end up with a getrag 5 speed if original tranny is doomed to be replaced. Good luck on your problem - if camber/caster is a problem - adjustable aftermarket front end parts are available for the MCS big time!
