Default Wheel Alignment

I was at the Dealer getting my 3rd oil change 14,000 miles & all the tires are wearing thin on the inside, the mechanic said there was a wheel alignment setting that would allow the tires to wear more evenly, but the handling might not feel the same. Any thoughts, I'll be lucky to reach 20,000 miles without changing the tires.

you should take your auto mechanics advice. The primary angles are the basic angle alignment of the wheels relative to each other and to the car body. These adjustments are the camber, caster and toe. On some cars, not all of these can be adjusted on every wheel.
