Alignment Problem

My front tires were wearing like crazy on the inside. The tread looked at least 75% on the outside and middle but when you took the tire off it was bald on the inside. The problem is I just put brand new tires on the fronts because the old ones were so bad. I have to get the alignment done quick before i mess the new tires up. I know I have to get an aignment of some sort. Im in longisland NY does anyone know a good shop to get this done perfectly besides the stealerships. Whats a normal price to get my fronts and rears aligned?

I don't trust anyone to align other than the dealer, I had the same issue as you, but only one 1 front tire, I put new tires on and had the dealer to the alignment, it was $129.....

Its likely to be a camber issue. Is the car lowered? The camber on a stock car can only be 'corrected' so much for lowering.

I vote for toe-in being off. Several of my other cars run around 2+ deg negative camber at the rear and tire wear is pretty even across.
