Front tires?

Coleman · 09-12-2004, 03:34 PM

I just replaced my front tires for the first time (the S-02?s at 15,000mi) due to the fact the inside tread was worn completely off and the outside wasn?t even to the ware bars yet. I drive 95% on the time on winding mountain roads and would expect the outside to go first. I am very remotely located the place that put my new S-03?s on said it was due to the fact I should be running my tire pressure at 45+psi

that is one of the silliest things I've herd, correct? I'm guessing the front tires are toed out? I'm 3 hours from a somewhere I would trust. Is this tire ware normal?

it not toed problem it camber problem, you have too much negative camber. If it were toe problem, you would have (featheredge) where the edge of your tire would be sharpie.

S02s have a tread wear rating of 140. Getting 15000 miles is great. Is that why you went with S03s?

It isn't the milage I was concerned with as much as the un even wear.
I got everything checked and all was OK. I went with the S-03's due to the better rateing for wet roads the tread wear is an added bonus.

Oh ya, I run my pressure at 33psi as well.
