Tire wear

[Hbutton0219]

Wearing down like this at 8k miles. Dealer will only replace 1 tire and they checked alignment and told me everything is perfect.

I have 5K miles on my Continentals. The rear is at 7/32 and the front is at 8/32. I just rotated them.

If you have the P Zeros, they wear fast.

I just accepted that when I bought my GT, I was also going to buy a lot of tires and premium Top Tier gasoline. Accepting those facts makes the car a lot more fun. It's only money. Who said money can't buy happiness??

Don't really know what to say about the OP's wear issue. Can't tell much from the pics.

I don't see a problem. As far as I can see wear pattern is fine, and it's a fair way from the wear bars

Are those P Zeros?

The wear pattern doesn't look uneven. But it's hard to tell without seeing the tread all the way across.

Are you running the air pressure too low?

 

[Hbutton0219]

Nope, all around 32 then usually get up to 34 when driving

Yeah, if you look at the difference from outside tread lines then the inside they're half gone. Rest of the tire looks new still

Only wearing the inside is fine? I can't be spending $1000+ every 8k miles for new tires

Take a pic with the full tread patern shown all the way across.

On the DH a perfect alignment sets the negative camber for handling, the offset is extreme tire wear. I purchased adjustable plates for the strut tops. Modified them to zero camber the fronts and adjusted rears to camber.

I have about 8k on the P zero's and even tire wear all the way around.

OK, I couldn't see all the tread. That's what I meant by "as far as I can see".
I'd get an alignment, possibly camber and/or toe is out of spec.

You took a Dark Horse and put the camber to zero?

Camber won't wear like that unless its very agressive (like -2 or more) or your ripping around the track on a regular basis.

That looks like toe to me, but I can't be sure until I see the whole tire.

I've seen some shockers. Generally on well beaten cars
