Yeah David you're right. That front passenger is really worn on the outside edge. I always worry about mine on the inside edge because of the negative camber. But I do have the same tires and they are a bit deceiving. Mine have 2,000 miles on them and no wear, but sometimes I look at them and the design of the tire folls you into thinking they're more worn than they really are.

Ya, I do Good ol' Ford did a terrible job aligning my car after removing the lowering springs. The outer wear you see was actually on the inside. I just had the tires remounted on the rims so the wear would be on the outside. I plan on buying new tires next year and will get an alignment done then. No point in getting one down now.

Well I see why people don't like the first set of pics. I am at work and on this monitor they look really bad. However on my home monitor they look (and print) really good.

I should note that the tires have over 60,000km on them. I had over 50,000km on them with no uneven wear. It was the last alignment job that messed them up but ofcourse the Ford dealer won't take any responsibility for it.

Beautiful Mustang! I love the sonic blue with the white stripes! Good name on the license plate. How great to have her all shined up.

Your photo software made some interesting pics. It's fun to do that. Ha, ha, look at my avatar; I'd better say that. But I get a better idea of what your Mustang looks like from your un-retouched photos. The country road is a nice setting. Thanks for posting your pics.
