How long ago did you do your alignment? Sounds like you need it.

yeh i noticed i posted in rong sec after i already posted it oops lol i had my alignment done about 40k miles ago when i had trans replaced

Your toe sounds like its off by a degree or so. Get an alignment and rotate the tires :th_thumbsup-wink:

Maybe even pay the extra money and have the wheels re-balanced. You'll get another 35-45k miles out of the rear (would be front after a rotation) tires.

yeh they have a 80k mile warranty on em just dont have the 60 bucks atm to get a alignment done

40k since your last alighnment? Yeah, you need another one for sure. Sounds like your camber is off to me...

Could be camber, but at the rate they're wearing, sounds more like a toe issue. Might be a combination of both though. It depends on whether the tread is feathered or not.

if it were camber an alignment shop couldnt do much about it then...there is no adjustment on these cars

Sounds like they are wearing like mine did. If you look under tires you should see pictures of my old tires! they was VERY bad! and my back ones! I know they said I needed alignment bad!!

Coming from someone who works on tires everyday. That definitely sounds like an alignment issue. Get that taken care of before rotating your tires, or you'll eat up the tred on your good ones. Unfortunately mileage warranties don't cover mechanical wear such as alignment issues, but if you get it taken care of ASAP you might be able to receive some credit on that tire.
