Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Shortly after purchasing my new 2006 lr3 i started noticing uneven tire wear and requested that the tires be rotated and for the service department to check the front end for proper alignment. on the following maintenance service the dealer said that the warranty had expired for front end alignments and there was nothing they could do unless i paid for it. now at about 35,000 miles i'm noticing exposed plys on the inner part of the rear tires and am concerned to drive it. this model definitely has a problem(s) causing premature tire wear which i fear may cause blowouts at high speeds thus causing serious injury or death. i understand that land rover issued a technical service bulletin la 204-005 in the us in october 2006, which covers vins from 5a000360 to 6a403382 that states that uneven tire wear may be caused by a degree of "bush settle" that affects the geometry of the tires increasing tire wear. the law firm of kabob in california has filed a class action suit and the case is now pending in the superior court of santa clara county. *tr
