Uneven tire wearing!

Dude that sucks, gonna check mine in the morning ..

 

Yeah taking mine back on monday for the fourth time for the accident ...

 

I'm ONE bad comment from a Lawsuit.

Love The car, hate the stealership ...

 

well from what i see that you have stock dunlops on. those tires are crap! BUT just like you said only 20k on the car. yeah take it to a dealer. demand new tires, something other than dunlops

 

IF the tires are still in warranty, which i doubt they are... can remember specs. my dunlops were way way more bald than that at 14,000 so at least you have gotten that much out of them.

 

ok i was hanging out with a mod here not too long ago and we had this discussion. he had 20K miles on his car when he was at this point. i myself am only at 17K and may need new tires or just rotate them. either way, the lifespan on these tires are extremely short and there should be something done about this.

 

I just replaced my tires today because of this problem ( maxed them to 17.7k miles) . Unfortunately the payment for the tires came out of my pocket. I confronted the dealership about this issue and they said its the tires fault but said if its an alignment problem then they'll give me a free alignment. Needless to say the dealership didnt want to be blamed for this so they blamed it on the tire company, the tire company didnt want to be blamed so they blamed it on the alignment. My car right now is at the dealership and is waiting to be checked for alignment issues. I should have an answer by monday whether it is an alignment issue which i for sure know it is because 2 tire places said it was definately to blame. I'm just waiting to see if the dealership blames Eibach because of the springs, which the dealership had put on the car themselves.

Oh btw, i did fail to rotate my tires ( only rotated them once ) so I really can't blame the tire company, because i take responsibility for my mistake. That is why i bought my new tires. But since others have rotated and still have the same issue as me then it doesnt really make a difference. Now failing to rotate doesnt justify the crappy alignment.

 

Here is what the dunlops looked like after their last breath, they will be missed :roll:





my tires wore out on the inside though, not on the outside like yours. Maybe it was due to the springs as well.

 

damn dude...the same shit happen to me, my tires started getting uneven wear about 25k/m with rotation every oil change...dealer keep blaming it on the tire company since the aligment has no problem...

at 30k/m i got a brand new set of wheels, april of last year, with upgrade from 215 to 235, rotation-balancing-aligment every 3k/m for 12k/m, after the free alignment is over rotation & balancing every 7.5k/m...now my car is at 45k/m there is no sign of uneven wear even with the "pulling-to-the-left problem"...

my say is that the real problem is the tire...

 

holy SHEEET down to the steel ...umm camber kit should help mike

 

LOL, good luck man. But you know you dont have a camber kit for the rear, which is where my tires seem to need them the most since before I even dropped my car. Hope there is some kind of adjustment for when I go get aligned. I havent really noticed uneven wear yet though but I need to double check.

 

You expect more than 20k from a performance tire? Why?

 

the dunlops that came with the 08 GTS are performance tires?? i didnt know that...i thought they were just regular tires that came with the car and nothing special...

when i had my accord i used to have nexem performance tires on 18s and they lasted me for about 40k and in some days at work drive about 100-200 miles a day maybe even more...
