outside wear
I got a 2014 touring with the sport package a month ago with only 5k miles.
It came with Swift springs and 20/25mm(f/r) wheel spacers. I don't know if an alignment was done after the Swift springs were installed. I have noticed all four tires have more OUTSIDE wears. More in the rear than in the front. The strange things is all four corners looked to have negative camber. Anyone has this issues at all? I remembered seeing a post where someone else has this same issue. I am planning to just wear out the current stock tires and get an alignment once I purchase new tires. |
So used, guy may have swapped the tires side to side before you got it. I normally swap mine side to side at least once every summer...

I understand, but this is not what is happening. |
Alignment must be out a good bit. Have it checked and then you will know for sure.

Would definitely have the alignment checked and go from there. |
What's the make and model of the tires? A picture showing the wear would be great.
Sometimes, if it's not a tire that has inside and outside specified, people may remount the tires to opposite side to even out tire wear. Not likely but possible. Also possible if you have really excessive toe-in. |
And don't wait till the tires wear out for the alignment.

I know ultimately I will need an alignment to know for sure. I tried to post photos, but couldn't.

Well, I guessed I am not alone. I am wondering if the wheel spacers have anything to do with the excessive outside tire wear? At first I thought I have poster camber, after all that will cause outside tire wear. Then I looked at the tires and they definitely have negative camber, how much I don't know. But now you have confirmed that even with negative camber you still have excessive outer tire wear. What gives? |
