I was a front end and alignment specialist before I got in the Union. It sounds like alignment, even if it just got done, u are gonna throw them specs off within a day of leaving the shop (nothing even close to noticeable) but what I'm saying is it could be out again... The shop that did the alignment should re-align it for free since it hasn't been long. But also like mentioned above, rotate ur tires more often too....

I took it to the shop last thursday, and they told me it was in pretty good shape, alignment and balance wise.. They tuned it a little bit as close to perfect as they could, but just told me to keep an eye on it and bring it back if it's still doing it. My question is, should I rotate now, and risk wearing another tire? It's the wierdest wear I have seen, it's like every other tread on it is worn down, and the tread before it are about twice as high???

Check your shock, tres, and ball joints. Any one of these can cause that pattern

Only thing I could think out of those choices would be shocks.. they replaced ball joint and tie rod ends about two months ago.. and that's about the time it started wearing
