Default Dealer wants to rotate tires instead of replace

How do I get a new set of tires like so many people on this site? I have some pretty good feathering at the outside edge of both fronts. I realize that rotating will not fix the problem, just like new tires won't, but on the TSB it just mentions checking Toe in as a minor detail, and offers no real fix. If there is no real fix, at least give me a new set of tires. I have 6,400 miles.

Thanks for the info. Did you get RE040's again or something better?

Let them rotate and align. Then drive car until other side feathers THEN get new set. I got rotation at 10K then a new set of fronts at 21K.

That is good to hear, I read one thread that said they wouldn't do anything after 12,000 miles on the tires. Only problem is with all my track and autocross time, the tires don't have much life left in them to see feathering on the other side.

What expires at 12K miles is the warranty on the alignment, so they might charge you for one, but you can still get the tires. Mine went in ay 8K miles, and they said they were toast, but now they want me to bring it in to align... still dealing with it.
