Are you sure the dealer that did the alinment/laiment/alignment understood what you wanted them to do?

All kidding aside, get another alignment done and get the printout to confirm that everything is to proper specifications and that nothing in your suspension is damaged. Also, be sure to rotate your tires in the 5,000 - 7,000 mile range so they wear more evenly, along with proper tire pressure. Hope this helps!

What tires and wheels do you have? Performance tires wear quickly. 15k actually sounds reasonable. That's what I've gotten from most of my cars over the last few years. I had an Eclipse GS-T that would wear through tires in 10k!

But if you are seeing uneven wear, you probably need an alignment.
