What happens to your front tires after swift springs and RR bushings and no alignment
I put on some Nitto Invos last July 2nd to be exact and 11,415 miles later this is what my front tires look like
I put on the RR bushings about a month later after the install of the Nittos and the Swift springs about a month later and with both of them I didn't do an alignment
I'm assuming my toe is off big time and causing what you see in the pics below? Is that considered cupping?
Anyhow lesson learned I am probably going to get some Michelin PSS while they are on sale over the fourth weekend and get a lifetime alignment at Firestone to keep up so I don't have this issue again!
The rears are wearing fine and even but only have 2/32nds left so they didn't last very long but the fronts probably would've lasted another set of rears if I had done an alignment lol.........
If you look at the 3rd pic down on the bottom of the tire you can see the cords starting to show
I think an alignment would resolve the issue. My friend dropped on tein springs and did not do an alignment, 8 months later his front tire inner walls were chewed in
Saw that one too, Discount one looks to be the best at this moment unless I can find a better deal elsewhere?

Sounds like my situation, seeing if someone will chime in with their toe settings for alignment when dropped on Swift springs (1") I'm guessing close to 0.........

Interesting cause i am also dropped on Tein springs and after just over a year on them, tires wore out evenly, not alignment done after drop either, and i put around 10K on it. Its crazy to think and see that from such a mild drop, it can kill the tires like that, especially the front ones.

I'll find the photo he sent me and upload it tonight. Its definitely on the extreme side for him
I wonder if it has anything to do with the stock shocks have about 69k on them? Could that lend itself or exacerbate the issue with shocks with that much mileage and dropped on springs??
Or again is it a toe issue not being set properly at the time of alignment?
I'm on BC coilovers with the Figs LCA bushing and my fronts are getting to that point after 4-5k miles. My driver side is a little worse. I had an alignment done as well when I bought the tires. I'm not sure if its normal for cambered Fs or if it's my alignment.
