Typical Tire Wear on Inside, What Tire PSI do you guys run fo best wear?

Well i did my tire rotation, and as i have read the fronts have a lot of wear on the inside.

A: Does anyone have any clue as to how to correct this problem?

I have the stock tires at 30 Psi cold all around. Any suggestions on the PSI i should put in them to get the outsides to wear so that i dont have to throw away these tires which still have good tread on them??

Thankss..

The alignment is probably set to the 2nd factory setting which is 2 degrees of negative camber....for road use the 1 degree negative camber is best to avoid the uneven tire wear you are seeing...

It sounds more like your toe is too far out.

Yeah go and do an alignment. Good chance you're toe setting is off. One of the many small mistakes (or for purpose $$$$) from

Yea But what PSI could wear the outside?

Yea But what PSI could wear the outside? Higher or lower... and what about the standard factory rating 32 front 29 rear... will that make a difference if i change it up?

Pressure will usually only effect the middle (overinflated) or both the inside and the outside (underinflated). This is an alignment issue.

I recently pulled my wheels off to rotate... only to find what appeared to be really bad inner wear due to excessive toe. I ran over to get a re-alignment only to find that I was not out of spec, but my tire pressure was over 40psi! Seems my gauge was reading 8-10 psi under, and I had been running this way for about 2000 miles (last time I had the wheels off). The tires were fine 2k ago. Be careful running higher pressures around town.

My 2 front tires are damn bald on the insides because of this crap...i've only have 3200 miles on the tires too. The dealership is telling me that its my own problem and i should check them when i get my oil changed but this was my 1st oil change. Dealerships are bastards.
