I just bought toyo proxies 225/40 18's about a month ago and my back tires are wearing a lot faster than the front. My car isnt lowered at all but i do have 18 inch bbs's...is that the problem?? What can I do to fix this?? Thanks
 
Get the car aligned.

I'll bet you've got excessive rear toe.

Excessive tire wear means an immediate alignment.

yeah get an alignment check, if you take your hand and run it along the inside (or outside) tread of the tire, you will probably feel something really notchy, or even if you pull the tire off and take a look and you'll see what i am talking about, i just got my car aligned today, $163.62 and that was just for the rear (the camber kits are what kick your ass though) didnt do the front because of "some play in my lower later control arm ball joint on the driver side"... so looks like i will be making a trip to the dealership some day, and getting that fixed (for free i hope since it is a recall) then bring it back and get the front aligned... :mad:
