The outside edge of my two front tires are now bald while the inside edge is normal and the rest of the tire has little more than 1/4 of tread left. I did read through the archives and it seems that with hard driving our tires do wear faster on the outside edges but noone ever mentioned theirs going completely bald.
I do corner very hard on the street, but will that alone cause them to be bald so quickly? Or should I be looking another problem?


Also may be related, my car pulls like a b!tch if I go over anything but a smooth, flat surface. Bumps dont really affect it much though. On a smooth or flat road, I can let go of the steering wheel and the car will continue perfectly straight. But any rut in the road and it will pull it badly. Sometimes to the point where I can barely control it and I mean barely. I know wider tires like to follow the ruts in the road but its never been THIS bad before.

last thing when Im driving along on the highway at my front end seems to float. By that I mean if I gently turn the steering wheel back and forth, and I continue on straight. It feels as if the tire are moving back and forth with the steering wheel but the car isn't. This doesn't seem to happen at lower speeds. And i have only noticed it in the last year.



I have replaced my shocks, struts, a arm bushings, ball joints and have had an alingment twice while all this crap has been going on and nothing helped.

You need a alignement...wel and some new tires now. Now depending on how bad the pulling is you may also need some front end parts. May need tierod ends, balljoints, drag link. Take it to a alignment shop and see what they say. If it needs something they'll tell ya. HTH

Sorry just re- read your thread.."sounds" like tierod ends to me.

The loose steering and 'grabbing' grooves in the road are actually the same thing. Those wide tires are going to grab the grooves--nothing you can do about that. However, with a loose 'steering' the car will pull from one side to another without moving the wheel. Get that steering suspension tightened up, and alignment, and some tires. Do some searches for performance alignments specs--the stock specs will destroy the outside edge of the tire if you drive it very hard at all.
