    The DealerShip has already replaced my tires for FREE and installed Michelin Cross Terrains. that was about 2,500 miles ago and now the new tires are doing the same thing. rear tires feathering and beginning to cup up. and front tires have edge wear and feather on the front. the truck has had 2 Alignments from the Dealer.

    x2. On the front, wearing on the outter edge only is a sign of very hard corning or poor alignment (or both). For the rear, cupping can be tough to pin down the cause of but it shouldn't wear down tires in 2,500 miles unless something is really wrong. Cupping can be caused from improper balance or bad shocks, possibly even a bent axle but you'd probably feel that when driving. A slight imbalance, you might not necessarily feel.
