Default Is this normal?

I dont know if this belongs here. I got banned from Honda Tech and I dont really know where else to ask this. Anyways I bought new tires for my civic about 2 months ago, and the outer part on the front ones are already almost bald! I dont understand, I know it's FWD but should it look like this already?

Front tire


Back tire

alignments are not free, normally. most times they go for 50-75 bucks depending on 4 wheel or 2 wheel..

I just rotated them today. It seems to only be wearing on the front right one mostly. The guy I bought the car from has stock springs on the front but a skunk 2 camber kit. And on the back it looks like the springs say "neuspeed" or something, god I wish he would have left the suspension alone, because now im paying for it, im gonna go get a set of skunk 2 coilovers and get an alignment.

Get an alignment before anything. That will probably fix the problem.

Plus you can't really rotate tires on the S2K. Those tires are directional.

He has a Civic.

Definitely get an alignment. A bad alignment can ruin tires in a few hundred miles.
