That's still a big tire on a 10.5. IIRC, the RS-3 S has a decently soft sidewall, so some of the wandering issues may be caused by them. What were the sizes of the other set that went bad early on?

Post them up when you get a chance. Hopefully they know what they are doing setup wise, as well as remembering to tighten all of the adjustment bolts.

Ok so part of that is the Coopers. A local friend of mine had them and hated them in any weather, but especially wet stuff. They also trashed themselves in 1800 miles, but that wasn't from a bad alignment.

I would let them do that, as long as you don't have to pay for the alignment. They also need to drive the car for a short trip around the block to make sure everything is good to go before giving the car back to you.
