Uneven rear tire wear

B&W_Evader · 04-24-2013, 09:43 AM

I'm getting what looks like more wear on the outside. Not 100% sure though. It looks like the outer most groove may be a little shallower than the rest by one or two millimeters. It'll look like the old Yokohama A008 by the time I'm done with it. I figured it might be suspension flex while cornering. 23k miles so far and hope to make it through the summer before putting some RE-11s on. I'm not complaining, the tires are lasting about twice as long as I thought they would. Mostly highway miles.

I also have more wear in the outside, so "normal" seems to be a f'ked up factory setting.

Is my toe out of spec? Too much toe in or toe out? Never have aligned it and it's a 2011.

Thanks all

Spacers won't change your alignment spec. What is your rear set at as far as camber and toe? This sounds like not enough camber.

Mine is all stock, 2011 Sportsd Pack, 5,000 miles. All four are wearing out more on the outside than the inside, what the hell should I do? Take it to the dealer and tell them to re-alignment?

My stock tires only lasted 10k miles

and that's with an alignment at about 3k miles.

You've got too much toe in as everyone has said. You can get an alignment for about $60 do eet
