EDIT: I missed the "center of the tire" But yea what the guys below said. It could be either over inflation or bad shock.

sounds like your running with too much air in the tires causing the middle to wear out

Sounds like a tire pressure issue to me. Just curious though, when is the last time you've stopped by the alignment shop?

Possibly too much toe, your wheels are turned inward to much. I had that issue on my MR2 and I wasn't over inflated and wore out very quickly only down the center.

how long ago did u get and have your alignment done? Have u made any adjustments since then? ie.. Camber, lowered more (coilovers if that's what you have)?

Possible toe issue if pressure is good. If toe is off you're basically dragging the tires behind the car while driving. Mine was off two years ago and I burned through a pair of rear tires in less than 6 mo. Wear started in the middle and was perfectly even across the the tire by the time I realized it.

Unhappy Tire wearing out prematurely on 04 G35 Coupe with 20" wheels

Hello Guys,
I have a 2004 coupe 6MT. I have 245/35/20 tires in fronts on 20X8.5 rim and 275/30/20 rears on 20X9.5. I don't drive my car during the winter and I'm not an aggressive driver. All four of my tires are wearing out in the inner edge of the tires. The outside and center of the tires looks good but the inner edge are wearing out fast . I had the dealer check the alignment but keep having the same issue. I'm getting ready to by another set of tires but before I do so, I wanted to find if anyone else has experienced this problem and how did they fix it.

I've told the tires on tilted in on these vehicles and that is why they are wearing out in the inside. I was suggested to install an after market camber kit, in order solve this issue.

Please help

Thank you

That does not sound like camber wear to me, it sounds like your toe is out of spec.

I would have the toe checked before moving into a camber kit (although a camber kit would be a good idea anyways).

Might be a good idea but even then, you can run some negative camber with minimal wear on the tires as long as your toe is within spec.
