    So I just dipped my rims on my 13' sport dcsb noticed that in the front the tires are wearing outside (closest to curb) the new tire pieces on the inside ya know the little spokes on a new tire. (Truck has 1400 on the dash) that they are all still intact and the outside one are gone and tire looks like its wearing down there, took a step back from the front and looked and let's the its tilted and looks like this / so the top of the tire is sticking out of fender a Lil, clearly there is an alignment issue but should I wait till the first 5k oil change and maintence to address the issue? Or is vastly important I take care of it now, since its new it should all be under warranty and not cost me one cent. I do mostly highway driving about 90 miles total a day 5 days a week... Any input is much obliged thank you

    If you have uneven tire wear at 1400 miles I would take it to the dealer and have an alignment.

    I'd head back to the dealer. Positive camber is not doing your tires any favors.

    Where in NJ are you located? We've got a member with a shop in Denville that knows these trucks like you wouldn't believe and can get your alignment perfect as long as nothing's broken on your rig.

    Back to the stealership. Not very cool of them to let you drive off with it in that condition.

    My alignment was off on both my new Tacomas. Both 2011 Off Road and 2013 Sport.

    Both were aligned at the dealer within 2000 miles before new rims and tires.

    @aworthyopponent did the dealer charge you for the alignment? If I'm going to pay I'd rather go to the shop in denville seems like he's more dependable then a freaking dealership

    Get the 5K ask tell them to look at your tires you think they are worn on the edge. The dealer I used did a better job on the alignment them Toyota after they did the springs.
