Default tire wear question
ok im on my second set of bfg drags (315 35 17) on my zr1s and the last pair and this pair seem to wear faster on the inside than on the middle or outside...i just changed my LCA a couple months ago after i changed the tires. is this a known problem with a f-body or what....

the rearend is solid and i got an alignment when i lowered it...if it was an alignment issue then the outside of one side would be worn along with the inside of the other like the rearend was crooked(sp)..

Check your tire pressure, if they are over inflated it will wear out faster in the middle of tire and if its under inflated, the outter edge and sidewall will wear faster.... just my .02

I wouldn't run that low. Give her another 10 pounds. Enjoy longer lasting tires, and longer lasting gas tanks.
