These tires are 235 50 17 G-FORCE COMP 2 A/S and are wider than the stock size for my G37x. They have around 25,000 miles on them and just started to wear like this and I'm starting to notice vibration at highway speeds. Stock size is 225 55 17.

Any thoughts on what is causing this wear pattern? I do take corners at high speeds, roundabouts. Is this an alignment issue or a high speed cornering wear pattern as the tires wear out?



Inner tire wear.

Inner tire wear.

 

bad toe?

 

Tires can start to wear like that after they accumulate the miles, it doesn't look too bad but I think I'd take them in for a re-balance. Have you been rotating them often, like every 7k miles?
And what tire pressure do you run?

 

Rotated every 5,000-7,000 miles, and 35-40 PSI. They were just re-balanced 2 weeks ago. I'm looking at replacing them at this point, about 30 percent life left according to Discount Tire Direct. I was driving 130 miles a day for my previous job but my new commute is only 10 miles a day. I only started noticing the vibration above 60-65 mph the last month and wasn't sure what was causing it.

 

Problem with these tires is that they are directional so you can't rotate them like non directional tires. I would take it to discount tire and ask them...if they are not confident it is related to the rotation pattern then I would get my alignment checked.

 

I have the same exact tires you have to dismount them and switch them to the other side so the outer can be in the inner. Or get camber arms and toe bolts and bring in the camber in a bit to wear out a bit more evenly

 

Thanks for the response. I will ask Discount tire about dismounting and switching sides. I also ordered the General G-MAX AS-05 tires as a replacement to the G-Force Comp 2 A/S. I was going to need replacements in the next 3 to 6 months anyway, the non directional G-MAX AS-05 will be easier to rotate and have great reviews.
