If that were the case then we would have an uneven tire wear "issue". Anyone experience this yet? I have 12K miles on my Z and the alignment seems spot on as I don't have any abnormal wear patterns.

Maybe the tires are designed to have a bit more rubber on the inside than the outside, knowing that camber will be negative on most cars that will equip them?


You can definately feel a difference in heat between the inside, middle and outside...
