Default Tire wear

Have done just over 7k miles in the S2000 from new, the front tyres are more worn on the inner than anywhere else.

Tracking ? car setup ?

Now I have heard rumours that you get this with sports cars
( not sure whether or not this is true )

Was wondering if anyone out there could give me some advice on this - comments greatly appreciated

If it is tracking or car setup would you expect the dealer to replace the tires for free ??

Peoples view's on avergage mileage of Honda recommended tyres

Many thanks in advance

The stock alignment settings for this car promotes wear on the inner part of the tread more. It is the nature of this car and no, they won't give you free tires. To get the kind of handling this car has, the wear pattern is simply the way it is.
If you do a search, you will see many threads about how much tire life people are getting from these tires.

i have similar situation.

reasonly while driving down the freeway.
I manage to pop my tire(right rear).so i replace both rear
tires.

After i replace them i notice my aligment pull left when i gun it !
When down to the dealer to Steven Creek(Bayarea) to let them check it out.

Make long story short,Honda of Steven Creek gonna oder me two new front tires and do aligment for me free.I think the aligment is under warranty for 12000 or first yr or something like.But for the tires i have no idea y they so cool replace them for me.I didn't ask y either maybe after they done doing it lol.

Honda of Steven Creek(San Jose CA)

Highly recommand them (Good customers service)
