At 9955 miles today I had the front end aligned. They had to do a toe adjustment. I didn't get a print out but they said they would mail a copy to me. They did cover this under warranty but I expressed my displeasure that this was not caught when they (the dealership) rotated the tires at 5000 miles. It's obviously was out of alignment since delivery.

My car did not pull or shimmy.

I told the dealer the tires were cupping and needed alignment. The lady that handles the customers came out and told my wife that cupping was usually caused bu underpressure or out of balance tires and was not sure it would be covered by warranty. I drove to the garage and when they were done she came out to me and said it wasn't "cupping" it was "feathering". I said OK, feathering is what happens before it gets deep enough to be called cupping. I'm guessing by 15,000 miles the tires would have been ruined.

For you completely non-tech types: You need to carefully rub your hands softly over the inside and outside edges of your tire tread to make sure the wear is even and smooth. If it is "feathering" you'll feel the areas about every inch or so where the tread is deeper and rises, sort of like a wave all around the circumference of the outer or inner edges of the tire tread.
