ive had my evo for about 2 months now and i noticed that the inside of my stock tires are all worn out, the outside is fine but the inside is so worn the nylon thread is showing. has anyone had this problem before?
Thanks

 

yes, the stock yokos wear fast alot of times.

my tires on both my evos were under inflated from the dealer. on my first evo it caused a very bad cupping issue and ruined both the front tires. i learned my lesson when i bought my second evo though and checked the tire pressure on the way home. once again, it was low.

now your issue most likely isn't caused by improper tire pressure. but the moral of my anecdote is to pay attention to those tires and check them often, or else they will go quickly.

but i am rambling sorry, i am kind of tired. let me get to the point.

the evo has a fairly aggressive alignment from the factory and will wear the inner edges pretty quick to begin with. that was one of the first things that was mentioned to me at my first local evo meet. watch the inside tire wear. some evo's are also a bit mis aligned from the factory also. my advice when you get new tires is to have your alignment checked, keep an eye on your tire pressure, and rotate your tires regularly.

 

Same thing happened to my stockers. When I got new tires and and alignment, now they wear fine. I would recommend camber bolts too. My camber was off in the front stock.

 

yea evo's have a screwed up alignment from the factory...alot of people get an alignment the day they pick there evo's up...

 

can they cover it on warrenty

 

camber bolts? i am pretty sure we have eccentric bolts in the front that allow for a good amount of camber adjustment. i know we have them in the rear suspension, so i would assume front too.

and slow evo, i highly doubt warranty would cover that. i believe tires would be considered a wear item.

but hey, it is at least worth a phone call right?

 

my tires did the same thing and they tried to tell me that its because of the type of tires when all it really was was a bad alignment and then they charged me $260 to do that which i thought was a rediculous amount just to get a damn alignment

 

Although the advice given so far is all with good intention, it is incorrect! Your toe setting for your alignment is off, that is why you are aggressively going through your tires. ZERO out your toe front and rear to reduce wear. This info has been posted over and over again in this forum. The car is supposed to have -ve camber in the front and rear to help with the handling.

Also it doesn't hurt to make sure your tires are inflated to the correct pressures. Unfortunately tires are wear iteam and are not likely to be covered but you can still make a case with your dealership.
