I replaced my rear tires as they were looking worn at 12k miles. My front tires look fine on the outside & middle but are worn on the inside. Do I have an alignment or setup problem that my dealer can fix or should I also expect my front tires to be gone at 12k miles?

 

I just replaced my rear tires at 12K but my fronts still had some tread on them but I could definitly tell that the insides where alot more worn that the outside/middle. I think it's normal and it varies on how hard you drive the car. I didn't drive mine very hard till I took it out on the track at about 13K now I'm at 15K and looked at my fronts again and I will need to replace them very, very soon.

I'm no expert on this, but my assumption is it's normal.

 

You can run less negative camber.

Will my Honda dealer do this under warranty?

 

You might want to check your front tire pressure. I was running a few pounds low when I first got the car and noticed the "inside tread wear" you are talking about. With proper inflation I haven't seen the issue reappear.

Not sure if this was the cause, but it seemed to make sense at the time.

 

I have the same problem! Insides are down to the wear indicators on the inside front, hopefully from spirited driving and a few auto-x's. Outside has a lot of tread wear left. I have 14,000 miles on the car. I replaced the rears at 11,000 with OEM S02's and they have some good wear left. OEM S02's are great but wear too damn fast. I was considering some Kumho 712's for street use. Would it be OK to just replace the fronts with some Kumho 712s and keep the rears till they wear out? Should I go 205/55-16 or 225/55-16? I have a Spoon x-brace and Spoon strut tower brace. Should I go with the 225's because of the stiffer front and I'm using less sticky tires?
