[QUOTE=GordoNx3o9;3000191]Umm, you made no modifications to your suspension and this is how your tires wear out?

No mods to my car.
Here are the spec on the alignment report for camber settings:

left front actual -0.3{degrees** specified range= -1.4 to 0.2
right front actual -0.6

left rear actual -1.3 specified range = -2.0 to -0.5
right rear actual -1.5

Both of my right front and back had the worst inside wear, and show more negative camber on the report. When I asked the certified tech to fix this and give me more nuetral camber, he told me there was no way to adjust it on the car as is, and it would need a TSB fix.

If my car tires have SEVERLY uneven tread ware to the point that I have to buy tires prematurely. I'm seriously taking it back to the dealer for them to give me NEW tires and an alignment because uneven tread ware is totally unacceptable.

My uncle did this with his new Toyota Tacoma 4x4. After he bought it we took a 20k mile roadtrip from So Cal to Alaska. Once he got back his front tires have major uneven ware to the point that he had to change them prematurely. He took it back to the dealer. After some arguing and complaining the dealer gave him TWO NEW front tires and did an Alignment.

If this happends to me, you better know i'm going to head to the dealer.

i have 36k miles on my stock tires and still counting. My rear wear 95% even and my front are pretty bad due too not checking the tires pressure enough, so excessive wear on both inside and out side.

By looking at your first pic, it looks like you have been buring out these tires. This is just what I assumed. It dont' look like you had any hard corning since the outside still looks pretty good. I make almost evey hard turn that I can turn and my bold front tires are not even as bad as yours.

I've got 16,500 miles on my OEM Bridgestones and they still look great. I think I have another 8-10k miles with no problem.

HEY! thats awesome. i just hit 10k on the clock and the outside of my fronts were BALD.

i tried to get it warrantied by lexus but they said that it is from cornering too hard. and i got tired of arguing with them.

i replaced them with Goodyear Eagle F1 DS-G3 Summer tires, then got an alignment. and WOW, is all i can say. the car has never driven better. for all the people who say that the car can't handle. change the tires. my body roll is nearly eliminated. IM IN LOVE!

i still have the re050's in the rear, and i can feel the difference. fronts are quieter and smoother and sticker. the rears still have 60% tread and i wanna change them now too.
