stupid NSX - look at this tire wear.
They (the Acura dealer and a couple of NSX people) claim this is fairly normal after 6400 miles. A few people say this is a bit extreme, especially since my rear tires still have plenty of tread.
No f-u-c-k-ing wonder the car handles pretty well. A freaking Ford Taurus with sticky tires and the worlds most agressive alignment would handle pretty well too.
The entire outside 80% of my tires is almost like new and the inner most 1" is totally bald.

Hopefully this will be covered under warranty (doubtful). The idiots "eyeballed" the alignment and said "yep that's normal".... ahahah... douchebags.
it is going back on Wed. This time no eyeballing and using the alignment machine to see just how far off it is from spec. The right side is not quite as bad.

Are you sure you didn't get a FWD one by mistake?
Check the VIN, I believe there was a small run of FWD NSX's made in '06 to convince naysayers that Acura could build an awesome handling FWD car...

For someone that has 20 slum houses, a good income, and a fairly good lifestyle, you sure do complain a lot.
Just drive the car!
At least you're not having to replace the "special" tires built especially for the original NSX that cost $350 a piece and had to be hand built and shipped by canoe across the ocean at the cost of one or two peons' lives.
