tire tread
 
I have brand new tires on my 01 A4 Quattro- The right front tire is getting worn on the outer edge (about 2 inches wide). I checked the tire pressure, and it is okay. Is this alignment?

sounds like an issue with camber being off, does the car pull at all one way or another?

Yea, it pulls to the right. But funny enough, this has just happened within the past few days. When I first noticed the tread ware, it wasn't pulling either way.

Rotate front to back and see if it still pulls.

I've got an appointment tomorrow to get it checked out. If it is alignment, I was quoted 55.00 (4 wheel alignment) compared to 250.00 some odd dollars from the stealership!

55$ align is cheap

Yea, that's what I was thinking! I don't know if anyone is around the Denver area. But I believe I heard about a shop called Autobahn motorworks or something like that from this forum. Anyway, I gave them a call and they referred this place called Perfection 4x4 to do the align. Anway, this autobahn place can change my plugs (NGK platinums) and my trans fluid for less than I could do it myself, not to mention, I'd probably F- something up anyway- So, I plan on getting those things done pretty soon-

just got the alignment checked today, I guess its okay. I guess the shop said it was just a bad tire?
