Bringing this back from the dead. I've now put 6960 miles on the tires, and the fronts are nearly junk again. I had my car in the shop (I snapped a valve stem removing a frozen metal cap), and I had them flip the tires on the rims.

Had no idea they were this bad.

The outsides were the insides up until yesterday. You can see the abnormal camber wear. This is with zero toe as well. I typically run ~36-38 psi. Too much air? I'm going to flip them back to their original sides, and pull some camber out.

This was the drivers side, the camber wear is now on the outside since I had them flipped:




This was the passenger side.

You can see where a good 2"'s of tire isn't even making contact with the ground now...and it also started to wear past the tread compound (dark tread upper right).



F*cking pissed to say the least. I should've just run factory spec alignment.
