I took my car to honda before the FreshWater tour to have my rear wheels re-aligned... I was on my second set, and these... like the first... were wearing heavily just on the inside tread.

So they spend about 5 hours re-aligning my car that day.


but...


3000 miles later, my tires now look like this!


My right tire still shows decent tread and maybe has about another 5k on them (which should hold me for another month to month and a half...)


The left rear, however... is completely ing bald on the inside, and almost to the outer edge!!


What did they do to my car!? The tire's should look like the same... and now the left doesn't look like it could last another week! I had to drive in the rain yesterday and was forced to turn on the hazards and drive on the side of the highway at 35mph! and even then... the car felt as if it was going to spin!

Can I pin this against them to get them to replace the tire? or am I stuck getting screwed?

 

Here are the findings:

How do they!?

remember... I have 18" SSR GT1's, with Kumho's... So someone please give me insight on whether the numbers look accurate!

Honda was all ready to replace the tires for me... but then called me back to the shop to show that the numbers were actually just fine... and that there was nothing wrong with the alignment job that they did last time... (that's the most dissapointing part... almost got some free tires out of this!)

if this is true... how in the hell did the left tire wear so unevenly!!??

Originally... how bad it was off


What they corrected it to...


What they found today...


also... what they found today...

 

Now you know why we want you to autocross here again. Just kidding. It does look like to much negative camber and if you told them what the problem was before it looks like they just made it worse. Also if that is 3000+ miles something is really wrong. Have them use the least amount of toe in on the rear while still staying within Honda spec.
If I can help let me know.

So you think the toe should be even less then it is now?

When it was WAAAY off in the beginning... the tires actually wore equally on both sides (even if it WAS on the inside!)... now that they put it closer to honda spec... that left tire has just been shown no mercy!
