While the section of tread on the inside facing section is near factory new. The vehicle was bought factory new and this is on the original set of tires. Mileage at this time is still below 25,000 as it is driven sparingly. Despite that All four corners exhibit rapid and uneven wear of the tread indicating an alignment issue from the factory. The vehicle has never been in any colision nor curbed even once. Owner research on various Metris forums show this is not an isolated issue. Many point to an error in factory parameters regarding camber as well as a excessive toe in.

Uneven tread wear of left front tire. (corporate claims my vehicle is not affected since the technical service bulletin is not pulled up by my VIN, but my tire proves otherwise.)

- Lynn, MA, USA

The tires have worn out to the metal after 5000 miles as the alignment was per the service tech - sent out incorrectly at the factory- the vehicle was kept for over 30 days.. judging from user forums this seems to be happening on a frequent basis
