Hi,
Just had my summer tires mounted on my new rims (Ford Performance Eco PP rims, powder coated to black by a local shop ). Anyhow, when pulling off my old "winter" (all-season) tires, they noted that the inside edge was getting quite worn on the Hankook Ventus S1 Nobles (50k treadwear rating). I'm assuming these were on the front for quite a while, couldn't tell because the dingbats at the tire shop didn't chalk them so I know where the wheels were when they were pulled...stock Eco PP tire size (255/40R19). The car has about 45,000 miles now, and I've been driving on these "winter" tires for probably about 35,000 miles (didn't get them changed back over last summer due to employment issues). The tires have the added bonus that for thee of them, this is the second car that they've been on (see my signature for details on that!). No wear issues noted when I had them pulled from the carcass of my first Mustang.
It seems like everyone who works on the car (usually the dealer) likes to overinflate the tires (the TPMS is usually showing like 39-40 PSI). I'm wondering if this could be contributing to the wear issue.
I'm giving it a 90% probability that it's a front-end alignment issue, probably the camber adjustment. Is there any possibility that there's something going in in the rear? After all, it's an IRS...
