Tire Woes

[Jhester]

Hey guys, Im flying through front tires. take a look at the pics below , The left pic was 4 weeks ago. Right pic was today. Ive had an alignment in last 6 mos. What do you guys think on the tire wear on the left pic? Insights are welcome.

Better view of odd wear pattern.

Just daily driven? Toe must be completely fucked...you checked your suspension to see if you got anything loose, busted tie rod end, lower control arm bushing, tension rod. If all that checks out, get a measuring tape and measure across the back and front of the tires at about the same height across. If your toe is good, it should be fairly even, meaning they are perfectly parralel.

Shit, thats the first thing I thought, but those are his front tires...I'm almost willing to bet he got something broke that changed his alignment. There's no way an alignment shop could fuck your alignment up that bad. Unless they hate you and wanted to kill you.

But hey, look at the bright side, his camber is good since they wore out evenly.

Unda unda unda!!!! Hahahhaha

That's negative toe destroying the outside of the tire! 240s call for just a touch of positive toe, get it aligned again and make sure the shop gives you a printout of the alignment specs before and after. This of course assuming all the front suspension and steering components are tight and undamaged.

Post pic of your alignment sheet that you got

That's some massive toe out. Also what tire pressure you setting to?

Does it drive funny? Steering feel sloppy? drives straight?

[Jhester]

The alignment shop didn't give a sheet ( pun unintended ) It is daily driven with 32 psi. Eraism , The front end is sloppy. Feels like the rack is shifting . I suspect the energy suspension steering rack bushings aren't adequate and ordered the nismo bushings. After the bushing install I'll get re aligned with before and after sheets.

looks like not negative camber but positive camber with a bad toe?

[Jhester]

Camber is -1.5 front. I agree on bad toe. I just replaced the shitty energy suspension rack bushings with nismos and the rack no longer moves but It feels like toe is off . The beauty of converted manual r&p.

0/32 of tread and 72 degrees outside. No worries...

It's definitely your toe. when you turn the wheel straight, you can't see the toe off?
