I replaced a couple belts this weekend, and I noticed that the inside of my front 2 tires were a good bit more worn that the outside. The rears looked somewhat fine. I had new kumho 712s + alignment done at the same time about 2k miles ago. Here's the specs.

Front

Left
Camber -.1
Caster 2.2
Toe -.04

Right

Camber -.1
Caster 1.9
Toe -.04

The rear specs

Left

Camber -.1
Toe .07

Right

Camber -.5
Toe .09

I have a lifetime alignment deal, should I take it in and get the toe adjusted closer to 0? The sheet they gave me shows the front toe range being from -.06-.06. The tires aren't close to shredding or anything, it's just the insides are a bit more worn than the outsides.
 
yes take it back and get the toe to 0 if ur anal about tire wear.

what suspension set up do you have? do u have any worn bushings that could lead to this?
 
I have the same problem. I got the same tires too. Even with good alignment, the tires wear out more on the inside. I figure my reasons

1.) active toe in
2.) driving too hard specially around turns. (I like it when my tires squeal) :D
3.) wheel bearings

I had both my rear toes set 0 if I remember right
 
Reason I'm post is bc I live near yo2001 and he mentioned he had excessive wear even though his were in spec. I checked and I did too.

I guess I'll double-check my air pressure and rotate those tires to the back and watch it more closely. If it keeps it up then I'll get the toe adjusted back to 0.

I have nothing as far as susp. goes. I haven't checked the bushing or anything.
