I have a 4th gen with a basicly stock motor. Falken Hanabis with 245/40/18 toyo proxes 4 tires.

I get alot of tire spin for such wide tires and a stock motor. I don't do burnouts but I do lanch hard on occasion and drive hard on windy roads on occasion too. But that isn't the main cause here. They are wearing strangely.

The tires were almost knew 4 months ago. In 4 months they have developed bad wear on both inside and outside of the tire. Outsides are worse. Very little to no wear in the middle of the tire.

Any ideas??

Thanks

 

have you had a recent alignment?

are your struts (shocks) in good shape?

how much are you lowered (if at all)?

what tire pressures are you running?

Proxes4 need to run higher pressures than stock...I run 36/35 on mine for even wear.

 

Sounds like sereously low tire pressure.

 

I've got the same problem with my Falken Ziex's (235/40-18) and my tire pressure is 46 psi.

I don't think tire pressure is the problem though, as my back tires are wearing normally.

 

umm....your tire pressures are WAAAAYYY to high. WTF are you thinking?

 

No
Yes, new H&Rs with wheels and tires
yes, unknown I didn't install the H&Rs so i am not sure of the drop. Maybe 1" to 1.5".
35/34

I thought it seemed like low pressure. Check pressure several times a week to make sure it's ok. I did consider raising it.

I am going to have to check alignment(stupid of me not to have done so already). I am wondering if maybe I have exessive toe in since the worst is on the outside of the tires?

 

H&R doesn't make a strut. Are you on stock struts?

 

Thanks for noticing my mistake!

KYB AGX Shocks

 

Actually, max tire psi for ziex ze512s are 50 psi.

 

Should always stick to the recommended PSi of you vehicle and not of the tire..
