On rear wheel drive vehicles, the rear tires usually wear faster. Your fronts wore out faster and this doesn't signal to you that you need an alignment? Do you know anything about tires? It's all over the road, and this is the tires fault?
You're right, don't take any advice we give you on this forum. Go to the dealer and trust them.
I'll take my primitive solid axle jeep over any fully independent suspension in an offroad or snow situation. Trade it in for a Prius, oh wait, that has tires too. Get a horse.

After this post and the one about Europeans making better cars I must assume this is sarcasm.
