This issue is only occurring with my front tires. I am running Achilles 225/35/19 on a 19x9.5 +22 offset. The tires are pretty stretched. I got about 2k miles from one side and now I need to flip my tires. I did not get a alignment after I replaced to this new setup.

My previous setup was General 225/35/19 on a 19x8.5 +24 and I was able to get about 5k from one side and another 3k from the other side. I did do an alignment after I got this setup.

I have already replaced all the bushings from a Daizen kit before I got my new setup.

The height did not change when I got the new setup.

My questions are:

1. Should I get an alignment after I replace my tires?
2. The place that installed my wheels over torque my lugs. Does this affect tire wear?
3. Is this normal tire wear?
4. What is your experience with stretched tires with this much negative camber?
5. I am planning on running a 235/35/19 tire to replace these ones. Should I do an alignment now or wait for the new tires?

Thanks for all your help!

Get another alignment.. Pics of the tread wear pattern?

1) yes

2) no
3) no
4) that + that = Less miles on tires.
5) you could wait or you could do it now and at least squeeze more miles out of your current tires.

A picture of the tire's wear pattern would be helpful.

I just got my tires flipped. This was originally on the driver's side front. They looked more worn in person.

Thanks again!

try to get pics of the overall tread.

but based off what i can see.. i can see some feathering on your tires.. at least what appears to be it from what i can see. Most likely bad alignment via Toe.

Worn out lower ball joints will affect toe.

Lower ball joints have been replaced.

Thanks again for the help.

Ya get a better pic of the tires.

Provide a nice profile shot of the tires showing the tread pattern.

what PSI are you running in comparison to what's listed on the tire?

I think you're trying to show outside tread wear?
the more information you provide the better feedback you'll receive.

the fact that you DIDNT get an alignment explains why the tires only lasted 2k miles

the tires dont look worn that bad anyways. defintely have more life in them.

ALWAYS get an allignment with any new setup

bad alignment job. easy as that.
i got -5 camber and toe is in still in spec
my achilles last me very long

i'd say alignment, i've been there with my GS's and SC's..

I hate paying for them but they are alot cheaper then tires, Lex's are horrible about eating tires if you have a modded suspension and improper alignment..

Thanks fellas. I have an appointment scheduled for an alignment Thursday.
