My 2012 CX-9 GT has just over 21,000 miles and the OEM Bridgestone tires are starting to wear noticeably. I have rotated every 5-6k and they're all starting to show slightly more wear on the inside edge, particulary the front ones that were just rotated to the back last week. It probably needs an alignment, although it tracks perfectly straight and doesn't pull to either side. But I know if all the alignment specs aren't close to perfect, the tires will wear unevenly.
I decided to just hold off on an alignment until I replace the tires, which I expect to do in the next 6-8k miles. The OEM tires on my 2006 Mazda3 were shot in 28k miles (which made me very angry at the time) but the replacement tires were so much better that I fell even more in love with the car! I'm hoping the same is true with my CX-9....
How many miles did you get out of your factory tires? How often does your CX-9 need an alignment?
Thanks!
