Default Tire wear

My 3 month old C7, i noticed today more tread wear on the driver side than on the passenger,
i feel no pulling to the right or left when driving, true i have only 700 mile s on it,
But for sure the tread wear on the driver side is more.

I have an appoint with the dealer to take a look, unfortunately in 2 weeks.

Anyone encountered this?

on a side note, i purchased the car from Kerbeck in NJ, when i initially told the local dealer this, the initial response was take back to where you bought, so much for a national warranty

Sounds like you need to find a different local dealership if there is one (not sure where you live). It is very common for factory alignments to be off, and if it's found to be out of spec, the first alignment can covered under warranty.
