Odd tire wear?

Just bought a new set of nitto 555 tires at 63xxx the car is now at 69xxx and the rears still have probably 90% on them. the front driver is prolly 70% and the front passenger is like 50-60% im going to get the car aligned first of next week. The passenger tire has more wear on the outside thread than the inside but they are sort of close. Do you guys typically have the fronts wear far before the rears? Also does anyone have that particular passenger tire wear before others or is it just bad out of alignment? Thanks for the help guys. Also i almost forgot, does alot of people run nitto on these cars or what do they run? they are about 115$ a tire which isn't a bad price but if anyone is running anything better i would be up for suggestions!

I run Yokohama ad08's and a048's on the street, both of which are better than any nitto offering, including their nt01. I would definitely get your alignment done and report back in another 3k miles.

i will look into some of those for sure. how many miles do you guys see out of tires? And do the front typically wear faster than the rears? I wasn't sure with it being awd. How often do you rotate?

I rotate every 1000 miles and with the ad08's I can get 15k miles and the a048's I'm not sure...as I just started tuning them but seeing as though they are an r compound tire, I would guess around 5k miles, maybe more. Mine all wear at the same rate best i can tell.

okay cool i really think i have an alignment problem. I mean 6k come on.. and its just the passenger front. The rears are great like i said and the front driver is probably twice the tread as the passenger. hope to get a alignment report early next week!

It's definitely an alignment issue. Probably toe. Shoot me a PM if you need a new tire.

yeah i pulled off the tires today and the tread on the left wheel is perfectly even and the right inner tread is identical to the left wheel exactly so i think the camber needs to be adjusted in. Im taking it to the shop for alignment tomorrow morning! hoping that is all it is!
