Abnormal front tire wear on 2014 CLS AMG

Have racked up 7,000 glorious miles and got a nail in the front tire. Took
to the dealer, and he noted both front tires nearly gone. Rears look
good. Thought it might be the alignment, but said was only "off by a
tiny bit." Know the P Zeros suck when it comes to mileage, but the
having the fronts way ahead of rears bit strange given the 40/60 distribution.

Anyone have any thoughts? Any bulletins out on this?

Thanks
Steve

do you go to Cary or Raleigh store?


ever hear of CW Performance? they're located in Apex; wouldn't take my cars to anyone else. Not sure if they do alignment, but damn it's better than going to the dealer


good luck and congrats on the car
