1999 SLK 230 Alignment
 

My wife and I have two SLK's purchased in March 1999. Both cars are serviced every year at our dealer with the annual state inspection. To our surprice, her SLK with less than 10,000 miles required new tires this year due to poor alignment. Now my SLK with 14,000 miles needs new tires due to poor alignment. I have never had to replace tires this quickly on any car. Does anybody know if the SLK has a recurring problem that the dealer should address?
