uneven tire wear

[hawaiiboy]

tried the search engine, nothing came up. My front driver side tire is wearing unevenly compared to the other 3. the outside tread is almost gone but the middle tread and inside tread is still good. the front passenger side tire is starting to wear but nothing like the driver front tire. the back tires are fine. should i have them replaced, aligned, rotated, etc? any info would help. oh yeah, these are the stock advans. thanks in advance.

have them checked and aligned. that would be the first thing id do.

Should be covered by warranty...

it was actually the dealership that did the alignment about a month ago. they said they would give one freebie then I'm on my own. should i go somewhere else? figured the dealer would know how to do this stuff...

[Skiracer]

Try another dealer...

i know this might sound stupid but does anyone know what the specs should be on a stock car? i remember reading somewhere that the factory settings were not the greatest. if anyone knows what the stock specs should be for the alignment, can you please help me out. i just want to have even wear and make the most out of the stock tires. thanks again.

If only one tire is wearing on the inside and outside, but not the middle, it sounds like that one tire is underinflated. Have you checked the air pressure?

[hawaiiboy]

its actually just the outside thats wearing down. but i'll double check the pressure to make sure. thanks!

thats simple. just stop driving on one wheel.

oh i was gonna say stop making hard rights... you don't have a multiple hard rights with no hard lefts driving route do you?

its actually just the outside thats wearing down. but i'll double check the pressure to make sure. thanks!If only the outside is wearing unevenly, you have an alignment problem. If the passenger side is the problem, have you curbed the wheel?

[Absinthe]

check toe on that tire its probably toed in too much.

[hawaiiboy]

thanks to those that provided useful info.

i have the same problem

but the inside of my driver side wheel is worse than the outside...middle is fine

passenger side wheel is kinda like the driver side wheel but not as bad

pressures are fine

alignment problem or just way too many hard right turns?

[Jamie@WORKS]

Alignment seems to be the likely culprit. Inside wear could indicate toe is too far out.

thanks...that was what i was thinking but i don't wanna bring it into a shop :lol:
