that's deff alig issue.


Take it to the place you had alig done and deal with them


You might be fvcked cuz usually alig places give you warranty for 3k miles or 30 days, which ever comes first.

If you pass that, you screwed.

You could try to argue with a shop but I doubt you win.

I had the guy who aligned me for me originally redo it for me yesterday after I had the tires mounted...he didn't charge me...

ya know, in the past week, I noticed that the bottoms of my front tires were low, kinda looked like there weren't enough sidewall there, yet the pressure was still good....shoulda figured it was misaligned...

Are you lowered? Looks like negative camber combined with toe wear.

wow never seen tires like that unless they were on the rear and used for drifting lol.

That was definetely a toe problem and not your camber as both edges of your tires are wearing even. Seems toe was either way in or out and the road was bsically eating the tire sideways......sorry you had to dish out another 250. Without a shadow of a doubt it was the alignment place.

yur alignment was fukced from the beggining man. Sorry, but that's just what it was. There's no way whoever you had align the car put it into spec.

Damn, that blows, but yeah.. I had a similar problem. I had a bad alignment problem, had just got new front tires too, and when I had the shop align it, they didn't do it correctly. It ended up wearing half of my front tires out so damn fast; faster than the last pair.
