I have a question about the tire wear on my car.

I needed to buy some new tires a few months ago, and within 3-4000 miles they are bald on outside of tire on the driver side, and on the inside of the passenger side of my car. frown.gif

Do I have a camber or alignment problem? Or am I just taking turns to hard to the left?


Please help me out I need some answers this week so I can have this prob fixed before I buy new tires for my new wheels.

It all depends on if you lowered you car also.  I would say just an alignment but if you did lower your car then it would most likely be your camber caster.  You would need to get a kit for that and its farely cheap. 

Go with the alignment first though and if you see a dif wear pattern in the tires after 3 weeks or so then get the camber kit

any decent alignment should include adjustment of camber/caster. also our cars don't require a special kit, it comes adjustable from factory.

as for your tire wear question. it definetly has to do with your alignment. its probably out of wack if you've lowered your car or your suspension has taken a beating.
