Damn. Do you rally around a lot in it or use the brakes a lot or something? or drive on a cheese grater?

Is that the inside or outside of the tread?

Looks like some really bad camber. Did you lower the car?

That looks like factory alignment. One of the first things that everyone even Evo drivers have been saying is to get a wheel alignment. Most of us have not been able to get Mitsubishi to replace the tyres under warranty but a few have been lucky.

I know that from the factory Evo 4-6's are sent out with -1° camber all around, but I've never seen wheels wear down like that and that fast. This could happen if your running a much smaller tire than standard (causing a bit more camber). Also, are these stock wheels?

Do you usually drive around with 4 fat people? playin'. Perhaps you should get your alignment inspected next wheel change?

Well, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if the cars come from factor with a -1 camber and are driven in a straight line 99% of the time, isn't it natural for the insides to wear faster? It sounds like you need to autox more!

Well 22k just sounds a little low for stock yokos but that sounds like a good enough reason for me to autox lol

Mine did the same I just replaced them 2 weeks ago. I had about 18k on mine. As far as rating for the stock Yoko's they are rated really low for performance capabilities and road noise as well as tire wear.

They are a very horrible tire, it's true, but I would have expected them to last a little more than 20k

I only have about 3800k miles on my car and you can tell that the car comes dialed in with some camber from the factory for better performance
