I just got my 7500 mile check-up. I had everything done - oil, tires rotated, fluids, etc. Anyway, I noticed that my car tends to drift toward the left slightly. I heard that this will remedy itself after 100 miles are so because the tires haven't settled in the "groove". Is this accurate?

Sounds typical just after a rotation. Personally, I hate having the tires rotated because the ride suffers for a while, but it must be done if you want a lot of miles out of the tires.

I agree Mike. Rotation is the one dreaded service thing for me too mainly because I know that I might need allignement after the rotation happens. I hope that it does go away after 100 miles because half of the times it does not and you end up needing a $60 allignement. The Firestone around here does lifetime allignement for $105 but I wonder if I should trust them. I had my Talon taken there a lot for allighnement and they were pretty good but am not sure about this car.

I think firestone is no longer doing that.

This guy owns like 10 Firestone's and it is like a thing he does for his stores only. I dont know, I have not cheked for the last 3-4 months. Maybe you are right.

I requested that my tires be rotated at my 15k service, they also charged me 79.95 for a balance, which I didn't ask for ! Was it really needed ?

HMMM just for kicks make sure your tires have equal tire pressures left to right.This can cause a pull as well if it is not even.Shouldn't tire rotation be included in the 15 k service?We rotate tires every 7500k miles at the dealer where I work.Jens

I normally don't rotate my tires, the rears will last 2.3 times the fronts. However if you want to replace all your tires at once, then rotate them
