Best tires in 2020

That is because your toe is out. Have them set the toe front and rear to dead middle of spec. Find a better place to do the alignment. Tire Kingdom

It's not toe. Because there is no feathering on the edges of the tread blocks. That's a combination of camber and driving style.

The next thing. Are you lowered? If so, how much?

It is toe, because that is what my first Nismo did before I put new tires on it and aligned. The toe was out. His camber may be out too.

If it was toe. He would have feathering on the edges of the tread blocks which he don't have. I get the same wear pattern on my tires as OP.

What camber are you running. I am at -1.5. I may run less later.

Its a stock vehicle, i have never been on a track or anything, just driving around town. I dont get too crazy with it but i might hear them spin every once in a while when pulling out and turning onto a street if i punch it.

I went ahead and ordered the firehawks and am going to try them tomorrow and have a nice talk with the firestone people about my alignment when they check it and see if they can resolve it for me better than tire kingdom did.
