Tire wearing down?

Mystry · October 17th, 2006, 07:49 PM

Well i put brand new tires on my car, and i just recently realized that my front right tire is worn way way wya wya wya down, like i can see the tread wear mark, not good, so i would like to konw what it could be, when i let go of the steering wheel while driving it goes pretty straight, so im pretty sure my alingment is alright.

The wear is mostly on the outside of the tire, the inside part of the tire isnt nearly as bad.

Thank you for the help in advace.

sounds like it needs caster camber plates

if it's wearing the outside of the tire, you have positive camber. You need an alignment. It should pull to the left, but it won't as much because of road crown, although if the tire is wearing down as bad as you describe it the road crown angle shouldn't be sufficent enough to keep it straight. However, your car pulling one way or going straight does not decide whether you need an alignment or not.
