Have the alignment re-checked to make sure the toe & camber are not out of spec.

You can do a neanderthal check of both in your driveway. You can use an angle gauge for the camber & a tape measure using a select groove in the tire tread for the toe (pick a select groove & do all measuring from the same point on the front/rear of both tires). Measure the distance between the selected groove for the front side of the tire. Repeat the process for the rear. The difference between them is your 'toe' in inches. The angle finder works similar in that you center something rigid on the wheel rim lip & subtract the angle on the gauge from 90° to get the camber. If it appears to be tilted in @ the top that's negative camber. If it appears to tilt outward @ the top that's positive camber.

I don't remember off the top of my head the exact factory spec'd numbers (& don't utilize them anyway) but I've set-up 'driveway' alignments @ -0.50 negative camber & zero - 1/1"6 total toe-in for decent driving & minimal/no tire wear.
