Rear Tire Wear

Guys -

Was washing my car this weekend and noticed my tires are wearing on the inside more than the rest of the tire, not what I would have expected ... anyone else notice this on their Z?

You might want to take it somewhere to have it 4wheel aligned.Sounds like it needs it. I have a friend who has a shop and he checked mine and it was ok but he said he sees cars alot that are bad right from the factory.

What bigtime said! Have it 4 wheel aligned. My car returned from my local dealer with a bad alignment after having a control arm replaced! I have never returned to them for service.

I'll have them double check it. It was recently aligned and the tire wear is pre alignment so won't know till i get new tires.

If you already had funky wear when you got it realigned, get another alignment with the new tires. I did the Firestone lifetime alignment for $150 and they even let me use the BMR specs.

Nice to know. I've always done the Life Time Alignment with all my cars via Firestone. Wasn't sure if i wanted to do the same with the ZL-1.
