Bad Front end traction
 

I've had this problem for a while now where I feel whenever I drive the car it feels like the front wheels are floating or like they're on ice. To be honest my tires aren't in the greatest of shape but it hasn't felt right in a while. My guess is that the alignment is off? From what I see the wheels a toed out a little and the camber almost looks positive also. The tire wear is also not normal I have wear on the inside and out side but I have a lot of tread in the middle which is why I think it is my alignment, I could be wrong this is why I'm asking you guys before I go ahead and do anything. It's also way worse when the road is wet which I feel like that's just the tires.

Also in the read my tires only wear on the inside could my alignment be that off?

Alignment issues big time

you're kidding???
 

Don't you realize that your tires have VERY LOW air pressure???

I checked multiple times they're spot on

I'll check again when I get back to my fire house in an hour

Imposible
 

What is your front tire pressure? Maybe you have a broken air guage.

This is a fact
 

When you have very low pressure the center of tire thread caves in & you're driving on the outside threads. When you have too much air, the center threads blow out & you would be driving on the center threads. Einstein proved it! E=mc2 !!!!

I'm going to check now also the tire light isn't on so they can't be that low they don't even look it

when you have only an inch of each side of the tire
 

making contact with road, the car will feel like chit. That's from Isaac Newton's laws of motion :icon14:

I understand that but I check my tires periodically and always make sure they're okay like I said before the light never came on

You did say that it's wearing out on the outside.

Okay just checked all four corners they were all at 40psi after driving for 15 mins I did find that my drivers side front tire is actually on backwards the other three are on correctly I still don't think that that's what's throwing everything off

all joking aside
 

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.

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.

He has 40psi in the rear. just want to see if the whole thread makes road contact.

????
 

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

Positive camber and toe out?

Car moded??? After market wider wheels???
 

or I give up. Niss. DEALER time.

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

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

That's my last resort I have an 09 so I'm pretty sure I'm out of warrantee for a problem like this

Or just take it in for an alignment first?

Yeah, the dealers and most shops will check your alignment for free

Take a straight edge and push it against the wheel. If its to long the tire will do ok within a 0.1 degree. Get an iPhone since it has a flat edge and download a level app. It will tell us your camber. It should be within 0.2 degree I'd guess. The OEM camber is 0.1 to -1.4.

Definitely due to tires or alignment.

Tires are one of the main causes of pulling issues as well so keep that in mind.

I would also keep SPL parts in mind if you are looking for some bushing replacements for the front lower arms.

Thanks,

Mike shoot me a pm if you would on items. I figure when i buy keep it local vs just googling cheapest prices.
