Default Heel toe tire wear?

As the title indicates. I have a GK, and I'm experiencing heel toe wear on both inside and outside edges of both front tires. Alignment is good. All the ball joints look good and the tie rods were recently replaced. Struts are original, but seem to work good. And the car is on completely stock suspension. Anyone know?

you mean inside & outside of the tires? Stop driving like a nutjob and add 10PSI to each tire?

You have camber wear problems? What tires are you running and have you tried rotating your tires recently?

If your wearing the inside AND outside of the tire faster then the middle then you've been running the tires under inflated.



Check your air pressures, end of story

^^^^^ He speaks the truth, under inflated tire simply just tire pressure, just as if you run to much you will run only the middle of the tires out...



You should probably run just like an extra 2 PSI in each tire to get the tire tread even!
