Another update. He did put in a service ticket with just a multi point inspection. not mount and balance and whats funny is that is exactly 500 miles ago on the dot.

I have a bad feeling that ticket is going to make things much harder for you....

Would be cool to know your camber/toe specs.
Lots of contributing factors...especially all the road destruction going on.

how low did you drop the car? In reality, any drop warrants an alignment but if you went .5+ inches down you need new suspension hardware to properly align the car.

Youll need after market camber arms,toe bolts, and front A arms to get proper adjustment. The skating around the road sounds familiar to my Z. It was due to EXTREMELY bad toe in the rear. I went through a set of tires in under 5 months with minimal negative camber.

That would be my first guess.

100% poor alignment

either a shitty shop or insufficient range of adjustment due to lack of adjustable arms

its tire wear, i dont see anything else, unless somehow you got tires completely defective

also . . . where are the alignment specs? they must have given you a printout?

and even if they didnt, they should have it saved

what is the wear pattern on the tires?

camber/toe issues would normally cause uneven wear either on the outer or inner part of the tires.

You got pics?

Hey everyone,

So i am writing this because i have had 2 sets of tires both from different brands. Both sets wearing way faster then they should. The Coopers i currently have i have about 700-800 miles on them and they are already at 5/32 left.
First set was gone after 2000 miles.

Car was aligned when done.
Tire pressure is spot on

Car is lowered on Swift Springs

Car ALSO seems to be ice skating across the road. Car seems to be all over the road

Any help would be greatly helpful!

Tires wearing super fast...Help!!
 
So as an end to this thread, the cause of the issue was a horribly aligned rear end. The toe was 1.5 degrees off on the left side, and .75 degrees off on the right. Get that fixed, and things are good to go. I just wanted to update this since we got it figured out.

Yes, he has helped me out quite a bit! A shop that did the first alignment got a nice talking to :)

Did you ever figure out the warranty issue with the tires?

Yeah, they are covering the tires at 90%
