There's something wrong somewhere. With 40 psi you should be riding/wearing out the CENTER of tires. 30 to 34 psi is normal for most cars/tires.

Default burn a strip of rubber
burn some rubber. I'm curious how the rubber strip looks like.

With my tires I get the fullest/biggest rubber strip with apx. 26-28 psi

What wheels do you have???

How would the front tires leave rubber on the ground? It seems like the alignment is way off.
Nuccigucci and MadChemist like this.

HOW could a bad alignment wear out the inside & outside of the tires?

That's exactly my guess I'm going to take it to my alignment guy as soon as my new front tires come in

I have the stock sport wheels with 295 proxis 4 on the back I'm not too worried about the rear cause I'm pretty sure it needs a camber adjustment
