I recently discovered that after only around one year of using my rear tires (the Bridgestones that are recommended for the car) the tire cord is coming out of the center of both of them, while the walls and every other part of the tire are completely fine and have lots of meat left. So obviously I'll need two new rears, but I think I have a slight negative camber which is what caused it. And no, the tires aren't over-inflated, if you were going to ask that.

I guess what my question is, is this normal for this car at around 80k miles? I was thinking I just needed an alignment, after getting mounted and balanced. But could it be an issue with my struts? Just let me know if you've experienced this with similar mileage.

I think I'm going with Hankooks...I've heard good things about them and their tires have a decent price.

 

If it's down the middle of the tire then that's an issue of over inflation. If it's wear on the inside most side of the tire that would be alignment, more than likely camber.

 

But it's at 34 psi which is what Infiniti recommends in the manual.
