Abnormal wear or not?

VTECaddict · 12-09-2010, 01:25 AM

I'm not sure if this is abnormal wear or not on the inside of the rear tires.

OEM RE050A RFT on 162's. Car has been lowered on KW V2 for about 3 months, alignment was done about 2 months ago and it's mostly within stock spec. Not sure when or how long it's been going on, but I didn't notice it till today.

First pic is the left rear, second pic is the right rear.

Looks pretty normal. Our cars all wear the inside corners, especially on the rears.

Very much so. This wear is as bad actually, not from what I've seen.

It looks like the tires are receiving more toe out wear then it should. I would get it double checked.

the RFT's wear like crap to be honest, I would advise getting new tires (non RFT) and alignment after the fact.
