It looks exactly like Wade's in this thread. Need to check my alignment. When I saw this post originally, I thought it was clearly an alignment issue......but that's two Kumho MX's now.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1874479.phtml">http://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1874479.phtml</a</li></ul>

I've tried to keep the best 2 tires on the front (i.e. similar tread depth) what really sucks is I run 245/35/18 P-Zeros's and there just a few tires availbale in that size. If I switch to 225/40/18 I could run cheaper tires that would last longer. When mine have gone bad they were worn 80% or worse so I could have only gotten another 5 to 7K miles anyway

You were slammed back then. That could *very* easily contribute to accelerated tire wear.

The cost of a coilover suspension is probably about what you paid for those 5 18" tires.

I'm on 17's, 4 x $132. Coilovers were much more.

I'm pretty religious about my alignment, but something may have gotten out of whack since its last alignment in October.

would fix it with my current suspension and others have said that its good to have them with any custom suspension. That way if I get adjustable coil overs I will already have them.
