Extreme Tire Wear
I've been using Michelin A/S Sport Plus tires on my 2004 TL. They are a little over a year old, about 20k miles on them. I inflate them to 40psi and for some reason the front two tires are wearing very badly and the car pulls slightly right. I've taken it to several tire shops, where they told me the alignment was perfect. One specialist mentioned that these tires have a tread that causes the car to veer right. I drive hard, but not hard enough to be wearing tires this bad. Any thoughts?

Post your alignment sheet(s).
My car does not pull to the right - same tire.
Those tires have a 45,000 tread-life warranty; take advantage of it.
40 psi, imho, is too high, but doesn't necessarily account for the problem. Looks to me like toe and/or camber issues.
