Tires wearing super fast...Help!!
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! |
Raise the car off the ground and start moving the wheels back and forth. Look for any serious deflection in the bushings or steering joints, as well as the wheel bearings. There isn't much that will cause excessive tire wear on the Z.
Side note: You can have a good alignment on a rack, but still have bad suspension/steering components. |

I have to wait about an hour to really look at it. But what in particular should i be looking for i know that's broad just wondering. |
Basically you're looking for any excessive movement in the whole assembly. You can do that by shaking the wheel left to right to check arms and bushings, and up and down (lifting the wheel straight up. Best done with a jack handle or pry bar.) to check ball joints and wheel bearings.
You really shouldn't have any movement in any direction front or rear, so anything more than 1/8" is excessive. If you get movement, start tracing it back, working your way from the outside in. |

Not good at tires, but can I ask what thread wear are your tires?
