Was installing my cat. converter and noticed that my front tires has some crazy tire wear going on. Fortunately, I caught this before the tires blew out.


Is this normal front tire wear? I know the s2000 comes stock with some aggressive camber up front.

Check the toe-in settings. For minimal wear, the front should be set to 0. How many miles on those tires?

MegaTRon

there's at least over 30k miles on those tires. Bought the car with them and I've driven over 20k miles on the car. They didn't look that new to begin with when I bought the car.

You will need new tires (obviously) and an alignment. Toe-in is the tire destroyer. Set the front to zero and the rear to .25" total toe-in.

I personally set front to to .05 each side, for a total of .010.

Though its only a fraction, it makes all the difference in the world on front tire wear.

You have negative toe-out, guaranteed.

As all s2ks settle, the toe goes negative.

Nope. How often are you getting your alignment checked?

Thread should be in Wheels & Tires.

Mr.60trim

How low are you? Take your front wheels off and look inside the wheel well to see if your tires are rubbing against anything.

no that is definatly an alignment problem... thats what happens when you lower the car and dont go get it aligned

before i even clicked on this link i could have told you "no, get an allignment"

MegaTRon

Is there anything specific I need to tell them when I go get my alignment? Can they pull up the stock setting on a computer or should I tell them how I want it?

p.s. my suspension and rims/tires are all stock.
