EK Rear Tire Wear Issue

Post by Uncle_Willie »

When i put my Fit Sport wheels on my Ek i had put 5000 miles on the tires. All 4 tires still looked like new. I have put approximately 5k miles on them since and the front tires are holding up great. On the other hand, my rear tires are wearing pretty bad on the outside. The inside of the rear tires have about as much tread as the front but the outside is down to the wear bars.

First thing i thought of was maybe something is bent or bad bushings. I thought about taking it to get it aligned but if there is a problem i would like to get it taken care of first.

Any ideas of whats causing this?

You won't know what the problem is until you get it aligned.

You do need to know which measurements are out of spec before you run around replacing parts. Take it to ntb or firestone where you can buy the packages.
