Default Pulling to right, dealer said its fine?

Our 05 pilot has been in for regular service intervals like clockwork, has newer brakes and tires and recently my wife was in for service and I asked her to have them check the alignment because for me it was pulling to the right a bit.

She also commented that it does pull a bit to the right so she had them look at that too when she was in. Its not a big pull but seems consistent, and our front tire showed considerable wear vs the other 3 that are all less than 30K miles (80K rated tires but i will admit we missed rotation intervals 2x on them).

Brakes or no brakes doesn't seem to change it or make it worse etc.

Dealer said they put it on the machine and its all in alignment, and they swapped the rear and front tire. Um ok if my front right tire is showing considerable wear vs the other front or rears and it pulls to the right something is wrong in my book, swapping the good rear for the wearing front doesn't seem like the "answer"...

I honestly don't know much about cars but have had it with the dealer we bought the car from and are using for service, I wanted to know what anyone here might suggest I say when I take it into another place to have it looked at?

I am considering taking it to belle tire where we got the goodyear assurance tires that are on the vehicle, the front left and two rears looked new still yet the front right certainly looked more worn but evenly worn (whole tread).

Any input or suggestions appreciated, but I know I need to get this in soon somewhere else...

This should help you (and the dealer) determine if it's a bad tire or a mechanical problem:
