My S is pulling hard to the right & eating front tires on the inside. I would like to know why and what can i do to fix it . I would appreciate any suggestions. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Does anyone know any good alignment shops in the south bay area carson /torrance?

Same here, check the back tire pressure that's usally the case
every time I would shift or brake the car would pull hard right.

Is your car lowered??? If their is more wear on the inside, means your camber may be off. You might need an alignment done!

This part is a standard s2000 feature. Your front tires wear severely on the inside.

I really want to thank you all. I have es100's in the back & some bull pucky fuzions in the front that may have a great deal to do with the uneven wearing. I will get an alignment this weekend & check tire pressure at next stop... ( Oh by the way the S has camber adjusting ability in the rear don't know about the front) so if you lower this pupp y know that it can be done right with out a great deal of trouble

My car started pulling to the left about a week ago and has been driving me Nuckin Phutz! I got the car aligned and even took it back again to no avail. After reading this thread I went out to my car and sure enough I have a HUGE nail in my driver side rear tire.

I'm going to go and use the America's Tire warranty I never thought I would need but glad I have.

You guys are the best!!
