I just ahd my tires rotated and discovered that I'm wasting the pasanger side tires faster that usual the outside wall i s basicaly worn out and the tires are 5000 miles old I know ia have a led foot and I have Nito tires with a 25000 mile rating and th edriver side is ok I'm not going todo a whole suspension rebuild i'm just looking for something mild to solve this problem. I"m just waiting for the 2006 GS to come in .

-buy some cheap tires for the mean time
-try and get ur alignment and see if that sovles the problem
-u can actually get the tire flipped, whre they remount the same tire but flipped to where the camber has the fresher side of the tire.

Get someone good to check the car out. If you are in NoCal, several people have posted comments on a couple of shops. I have gone to Custom Alignment in Mtn. View for 25 years and can recommend them without reservation. At least then you can determine if there is anything mechanically wrong, the cost to repair, and if the more cost effective solution isn't just to tolerate the higher tread wear until the next GS arrives, which isn't that far off.
