american tire or tires.com gave me the same line. an alignment WAS done and still the same problem occured. so it can't just be the alignment. if it was an alignment then when i did the 4 wheel alignment after i bought another brand new set the problem would be solved. also on a 124 all you can align in the front is toe.

everyone must agree that is not a feathered wear ACROSS the tread.

Misalignment Condition Tire Wear Symptom
Incorrect Camber Setting Premature smooth wear on either inside or outside shoulder.
Incorrect Toe Setting Feathered wear across tread; raised tread block edges.
Incorrect Caster Setting Excessive shoulder wear; tread blocks show "heel-toe" wear pattern.
Unequal Caster setting (either right or left side is out of specification) Sharp pulling necessitates steering compensation and feathered wear.
Unequal Toe setting (either right or left side is out of specification) Sharp pulling necessitates steering compensation and feathered wear.
Combination of two or more settings are out of specification. Irregular treadwear with feathering and smooth spots
