Out with the old:





In with the new:

 

damn them old ones were not wearin right!

 

"Very Nice"

 

Yeah seriously! Did you race on your old ones or was that from normal wear?

 

Thats after about 15k miles of "Driving it like I stole it", I've never done any burn outs with em, but I've brought them to the track twice for a total of about 25 runs.

Also, I don't rotate them

 

Lets hope you change new rubbers everytime hehe j/k. Looks good dude.

 

Since when are 205/55/R16's considered low profile??

The garage I went to charged me 50 dollars for two wheels...

 

Old ones look like underinflation and some hard ass corners. Like the new rubber so far

 

Hard ass cornering? Defintely. Underinflation? Definitely not, If anything, I overinflate my tires.


Love the way new tires grip

 

The toe-in (how ever its spelled) wasn't right...thats why they wore on the outside edge. Go get an alignment....it'll be well worth it in the end.

 

The excessive wear on the outside is probably from cornering. The wear on the inside of the old tires is what would concern me more, though the tires actually wore fairly evenly. It just looks bad because there is actually some tread in the middle and none on the sides. Normally I would say under-inflation but you allready said they wern't, though knowing how much pressure you actually did run in the tires would be nice. I'm going to guess the wear on them is from cornering and *possibly* alignment. Being that the front tires get the brunt of the workload it would probably be worth getting the alignment checked out just in case.

Also I believe Wal-Mart mounts tires for about $4.00 a tire, balancing is about $7.00 per tire if I remember correctly. If you have a Sam's Club membership they do balanceing/rotates for $3.88 a tire, but don't mount tires you didn't buy there, hence mentioning Wal-Mart.

I work in Sam's Club Tire and Battery, that's why I have an interest. You can just ignore my post if you really want .

 

I usually run my tires at 40 psi.

And Right after I had my lowering springs installed I had a four-wheel alignment which i spent 80 dollars on
