Replaced stock tires after 15,000 miles with Goodyear Eagle F1 all seasons
Barely made it to 15,000 miles on the stock Bridgestone Potenza RE050. That little * on the window sticker about tire wear was dead on. All 4 tires had serious inside tire wear,{too much negative camber**. I had a 4 wheel alignment done, and the tech said the car does not have a camber adjustment. Does anyone now if this is true? Are there any TSB's for the sport suspension package for premature inside tire wear? The spec setting for the car is slight negative camber, but if it eats my tires like the last ones, this has got to be fixed.
I researched Tire Rack and other car mags, and went with the Goodyear Eagle F1 all seasone over the Eagles GS-D3 more for UTOG 420 vs. 280. I paid 890.00 with tire protection, which was about 200 less than the D3's. Right away I noticed much better cornering with these tires over stock, ride comfort is better{less jarring**, and road noise is about the same. I'm just hope I can greatly improve the 15,000 mile limit now. Some reviews on Tire Rack report 40 to 50K miles.
I will try to post pics.
Old rear, with inside wear.

Thanks for the help...........I have 12,000 and it would appear I should get close to 20,000 on my original tires. We'll see

The Bridgestone Potenzas were another random tire on the sports package. I'm not sure how they hold up to the Dunlops, but I think I have read about more complaints on the Dunlops. I am more irritated at the inner tire wear. My front tires could have made it another 7,000 miles if they had even tire wear. The rears, not so much....I smoked them too often

Umm, you made no modifications to your suspension and this is how your tires wear out?
I don't have sport package and I have Bridgestone Potenzas. I don't like the wet traction of these tires, but they seem like they are going to last for a pretty long time even after 19k miles. But then again, I have a set of winter wheels in my garage for the snow.
