My wifes 2010 has 8500 miles on it and I noticed today that both inside rear tires are completly worn to the cord.

Im taking it in tomomorrow to the dealer can someone give me a heads up on what it may be?

is it dropped? inner tires wear is camber issue.... rnning too much camber...

I would start with checking the alignment.It could be as simple as a cam adjuster that slipped.

No sir. This car is just like the day we bought it expect for tinted windows. Both rear tires will need replacing. I wonder if they will work with us on the new tires

Inside rear tires? Didn't know they had a dually option!

Seriously, that is odd and I would take it to the shop. I would also check the Onstar reports to verify that she isn't driving the wheels off of it

if its totally stock.. i'm assuming its your rear camber adjustment... have your dealer check it out... but i doubt the dealer will give u a new set of rear tires.... worth a try tho..

Maybe they will work with me or something. This car is being driven by a 37 yr old woman. She babies it and doesnt let me near it unless it needs gas or washed.

Thanks guys I will post what they said and did or didnt do about the tires

Raymond is spot on. Make sure they check the rear camber. High negative camber will waste the inside rear tire shoulders.

Just a heads up. If they find the rear wheel wells are filled with tire buggers from burn outs you get little if any help. Not that anyone on this forum would ever smoke a tire.

Note to self: detail my cars before proceeding to the dealer.

Na there are no tire buggers on it. I doubt she knows how to turn the TC off.

Cool. Please get an alignment sheet and posst it up showing both the before and after.

Tell your wife to stop lighting up the tires and pushing so hard into the corners! lol.

Outlaw77 · 01-14-2011, 01:26 PM

when I had my front wheels aligned at my dealer they told me the rear wheels were out of alignment and it looks it was like that from the factory. I haven't lowered it or beat on it either. It was weird but there were no signs of premature wear on the rear tires. Don't be surprised if it came that way from factory.
