hey guys, i recently hoisted my car up and was just having a look at things and realised that my tyres on the front were wearing out quick and alot, the inner side, and ive only had these tyres for maximum 2-3months, and the inner side of the tyre on the front are almost on that little block between the thread the tyre has to tell you that it isnt road worthy etc. (correct me if im wrong that is what i was told that block is). And no burnouts, and mayb in the 2-3months about 1 week all together worth of harder cornering. any help guys ? the tyres are michelin pilot preceda pp2 205/50/15 on the stock rim of an ek4 96. pumped on 36psi atm.

wheel alighnment must be way out of whack.
get a print out of your wheel alignment.
either that or you may have bent something.

Have your front wheel alignment checked. Too much toe-out can cause the tyre wear you are talking about.

ok thanks guys, will update this on how i go, wheel alignment seems fine when i drive, doesnt swirve alot, but the toe out thing might be an issue.

car lowered? a 2" drop on a ek4 usualy brings camber on the fronts to - 2 to 2.5 degrees which doesnt help

today i went to get ym tyres n all fixed up, i took it back to original place and they fixed up the camber and toe for me, and rotated the tyres to the rear, so now hopefully the wear on the inner tyre is gone, ill test with the front tyres now. If it still does then im gonna ask the place i got them from to replace, if in another 2 months the wear on the tyre is bad.
