    Yeah I've never had issues either, I don't know whether cars are aligned locally once landing here, but with the variablity and certain dealers having issues like this and not others I do wonder whether some get it checked as part of the delivery. Put it this way, I've never seen it with a good car dealer....

    I have to replace my front tyres too.. The v6 Superb is a front tyre decimator. 15k on mine and they are 3/4 worn.. Back tyres look like new. WTF?

    I got a wheel alignment on my Golf after 2000kms, yep it was out from the factory, and the alignment made the turn in noticeably sharper.

    Get a wheel alignment, cheap insurance for getting your 18s to 20,000kms.

    Just wondering if they are CSC2. I went through a full set of CSC2 on my RS in 15k which included wheel alignments and rotations via an excellent tyre/suspension workshop. They're to soft for Australian roads, I liked them as a tyre but PS3 are much better.

    I've never had great experiences with dealers and wheels alignments and I know when i got the RS the alignment was way out even if its was a factory alignment.

    I was a bit disappointed to see that I could not adjust the camber on the front, i've always been farly aggressive here. The rears however with the factory camber, I do have the rears poining in slightly to offset the potential scrubbing on the inside this setup has been 100% no scrubbing at all.

    If i actually got 15k on a front set of CSC2 without rotation, i'd be stoked.

    Well i have gone for Michelin PS3 and the car has been transformed.. A tiny more road noise, but so much better than the Conti's.

    Ill provide some more information as they wear in.
