    That's a very good counterargument. Thanks! BTW, my rims are perfect. And even if I was driving forward, my front right wheel alignment must have been pretty messed up, but as the printout shows, it wasn't.

    If that fails I got one better than that.

    Tell them to (like how a card trick starts) pick a brend new mirage off their lot! Any mirage,any color. Hook it up to the alignment machine! Make sure after they put the heads on the rims nothing and nobody touches them. Do the rolling compensation and see how the rear looks like (they dont even have to do caster sweep).

    I am pretty sure it won't be green! Best I've seen was like yours.One side just in specs the other way in the red!

    Now who curbed that one?

    The more of us call Mitsubishi about this the more likely they'll do something proactive about it. In this forum only already about 6 users have said to have the same issue.

    My original ensave stock tires wore out at 20K. I'm hoping it was just cheap tires and not an alignment issue.

    If my tires are wearing out due to an unfixable alignment problem I want a full refund. That's pure fraud selling a car like that.

    You could get your alignment checked and get out of doubt.

    This is an issue with the '15 FIT . I believe that has a welded rear axle . Some have complained of alignment problems from the factory .
