Took car to the dealership for the first time

From my own experience from owning this car and by using the very TSB's from Toyota, I checked in my car for a few issues:

namely the main issue is

SU007R-07 OCT 07 Steering/Suspension - Slight Vehicle Pull or Drift.

they suggested i do a wheel alignment, but shouldn't they take care of this if its a TSB?

I think you'll find that it goes away when the crap OEM tires are gone.

If its within warranty, they should! Still, how much mileage does your car have? Maybe alignment is due, but don't let them get out of the way of doing their job...sneaky dealers!

Is it because the stock tires are very sticky?
