Tires go to quick

[cgmusicman]

It seems like my tires are wearing too fast. I have been having cupping issues with them ever since I replaced the original set of goodyears. My shocks are Koni yellows and have about 25,000 miles on them so I am sure that they are not worn out. I have the tires rotated ever 5,000-7,500 miles and have had the alignment checked about 5 months ago. My guess is the wheels are messed up or the brake rotor(s) are warpped. (I know the brake rotors are a little out but they are also fairly new, could a bad wheel cause them to warp?) I have no suspension mods so I can't blame it on being lowered.

What kind of tires are they? Are they wearing evenly?

 

[cgmusicman]

They are Goodrich KDW and no they are not wearing evenly the inside of drivers side tire is worn down and cupped.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

It is an alignment issue.

 

[Mossberg]

Yep, all it takes is one huge bump sometimes and your alignment can be off.

 

[cgmusicman]

I don't think there was enough time since the last alignment for it to wear that much.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Alignments often come with warranties. Take it back where you had it aligned and ask them to see if it is still in spec.

hold on a sec.... do you have to make tight turns at low speeds? spacifically left turn, that you jack the wheel all the way to get into? like a parking space at work, or a tight driveway/garage?

my front drivers side tire did the EXACT same thing. i think its something with the KDW tire, tight turning, and the car having something its rubbing on. i hav not had this issue on ANY other tire, just the front left, tis not alignment, nor wheel/rotor based.
