Wheel/Tire UPDATE



To refresh memories---I'm the one who (idiot) let my
cardiologist friend drive my new A4 Avant. He slammed
the rear wheel into a curb, scraping the wheel and
taking a chunk out of the tire.

I took the car to Carlsen body shop because there was
a noticeable pull to the right; they drove it and
said it was ok.

Well, yesterday, I replaced the Dunlop 8000 (ordered
from tire rack-$123) and got the wheel balanced. Of
course, I went the convenient route and had
PriceCostco mount/balance the tire ($7). 

Guess what. Now it is PULLING EVEN WORSE! 

My scheduled maintenance is in 2000 miles; should I
just wait until then to get a rear (or four) wheel
alignment? Or will I screw up all of my tires by then
and have to replace them?

Argh.
