Front Tire Wear

I replaced all four of my tires about a year ago and I now have to change the front two tires due to wear. I know with the rear wheel drives that the rears usually wear out first. I was wondering what causes this problem or is this alright.

Thanks.

obivously its not alright, the Z/G suffers from poor front toe specs from the factory...I would suggest an above average alignment shop to dial it in, or at least speak with the technician doing the work and make sure he is aware of the updated specs or at least aware of the problem.

I wish I could give you a clear answer on what your toe should be, but Im in the same boat unfortunately...not too many threads on here about front toe. I think its usually less than 1-deg of negative toe for each side. you want your front tires ever so slightly toed inward like so /_\ just not that extreme of course.

Yup. Check alignment and air pressures up front.
