    uneven tyre wear

    Ok so i just noticed the front tyres of my car are worn unenven.
    The steering does not vibrate, it doesnt pull to one side.
    however the inside of the tyres are worn out. the outside of the tyres look brand new hardly any wear on them. the thread would be like 90% the inside of the tyre is like 20%
    What could be happening? i prob need to get new tyres soon because of this and want to fix it so the next pair dont wear out like this.

    if so.. go to a tyre shop, get them to check the wheel alignment, and you may need a camber adjustment.

    yes, do a wheel alignment+ camber for your next set of tyres, and check our tyre pressure regularly

    no camber adjustment on a stock dc2r
    it's just the toe wearing it out anyway unless one of your suspension components/body is bent so that it gives camber(well more than it should have)

    You will know when you get the suspension alignment measured at the tyre shop. They will only be able to adjust for toe without adding aftermarket adjustable suspension arms/adding washers. Ask for the printout of your before and after alignment and post it up here.

    Yes it will probably happen again. Go to suspension/wheel shop and get a wheel alignment, it usually costs around $60.

    its probably toe... toe wears out your tyres was worse than camber.

    how long since you rotated the tyres? not too sure what toe and camber settings stock would use, but the prolong hte life of tyres, they should be rotated as well - more often if you like to run neg camber

    Dont think i've ever rotated the tyres.
    I got the tyres balanced and aligned when i got them about a year ago.
