Tire Wear Photo - Need Advice
Front tires have both worn quickly on inside corners (cupped). One in photo above is down to cords in one place.
Wear is more severe in some places (not even all the way around)
Car is 1997 with 62K and driven very seldom and with great care. Tires are 225/40 ZR18 (92W) Toyo Proxes T1S mounted on ADR GT Sports, 18 x 7.5, 5x114.3 with offset of either 42 or 48 (info from ADR - these were on car when purchased.) I inflate fronts to 40 psi cold and rears to 36. Rears are wearing evenly.
I understand that cupping is usually associated with negative camber. Before I replace the fronts, I need some advice on what to do to correct the problem. Will an alignment take care of it? Anything wrong with tire/wheel size?
Anyone have similar issues?
Thanks for your help ...
