HOW could a bad alignment wear out the inside & outside of the tires?

Positive camber and toe out?

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

That's my last resort I have an 09 so I'm pretty sure I'm out of warrantee for a problem like this

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
