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?

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???

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

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
