Default front end issues?

not sure why, but i cant seem to keep front tires on this car, they all wear out like i got a bad alignment... outside wears first.

i've had my car algined a few times this past tire change and it never was really that bad out if any... but they still did the same thing... is this a common problem?

i thought someone posted something about a fix for it but i cant seem to find it.

Being that you have had it aligned I can't see that being the issue but you never know. Are you getting your tires rotated? Hows your tire pressure?

pressure fine, i keep it around 30... rotation no, i have a gxp.

guess if its not a common problem i'll just go to another shop for an aligment... and have it checked regularly

30 is too low I roll on 38-40 psi on 45 series tires. To tire wear issues and its actually recommended now to keep your tires higher than what people used to keep them at (30-34 max)

you could rotate front tires unless they are directional but hat might not have saved the wear you are seeing. im curious if they used GXP specs or not when aligning it.
