If the tires are directional, verify the left and right are not swapped.

Brand new tires need to be broken in in order to have optimal performance... they say roughly 500 miles.

Exactly

what tires do you have? Who aligned the front end? What specs did they give you as the result of the alignment? Car ever been hit?

Thanks for the information. Alignment will be booked asap. No car has never been hit (no records show and I have never had anything)
