Tire wear issues

So the interior side of my tires on my 06 GT are wearing out fast. Any ideas why? It's like they have negative camber but never modded. Also I've never replaced the shocks.

Tire wear issues

I'm not saying anything about you, but I'm a big dude and I've learned that this is one consequence of slightly exceeding the maximum weight rating on cars.

So if your alignment is correct, check how much stuff you're carrying. Also the alignment should be done with a half tank of fuel, I'd imagine that if done with less, or if you fill up all the time (I.e., never get below a half tank), this might happen over time as well.

check the Alignment and front end linkages ASAP.




I had one once where I had a little fender bender less than 5MPH no damage to either vehicle. But about 2 months later I got tire wear on the inside edges.

Could be a million things. What tire brand and mileage? Also do you know when the last alignment was done? The cars have slightly negative camber stock which is good for handling but worn suspension components can exaggerate it that plus tire pressure or cheap compound tires and you have a recipe for excessive wear. Is it just one end or all the way around?
