Terrifying Tire Wear

Best post yet lol

 

Should I get new tires and sell the 4 for super super cheap or should I keep them and chance it? I do a lot of traveling so having this happen so sudden is weird but I need tires to last so idk if flipping them on the rim or even having them on the back would be worth it or even safe

 

I think it would be hard to find someone to buy those tires in that condition tbh but it might be worth a shot. I think the safe choice is just to buy new tires after you get it realigned. I would not chance it especially since you do a lot of traveling.

 

Sell them? You’re joking, right?

 

I'll give you $500 for the set

 

I mean all 4

 

Buy 2 new ones, keep the screwed up ones as spares?

 

Buy two new ones. If you need a new spare, keep one of them. Otherwise they're scrap

 

alignment is probably out of spec/ moved. Check your old alignment sheet. Negative camber by itself wont eat your tires up in 2 days if your toe was correct. Unless u were doing burnouts on a fwd truck lol. Most likely your bolts came loose on the lower control arm and shifted which cause negative toe and negative camber at the same time. I would just get 2 new fronts if rears are ok.

 

remount them with the other side out, so you can wear the good edge next. that'll give you time to fix the issue!

 

Depending on your zip code they might make great retaining walls now lol.

Holy hell, how did you not feel that through the steering wheel? Camber is totally fubar’d in the pic you posted that must have rode like crap. Live and learn man

 

You can see in the pics that the tie rods are shortened up as far as they will go. The tech should have told you, "The tie rod extensions are too long. I did the best I could, but it's gonna eat your tires if you don't fix that right away."

 

you said you have heims, are they adjustable installed or do you have to remove the arm to adjust them? i know on alot of aftermarket car stuff they have a reverse threaded bushing to allow adjustment on vehicle and if that came loose could cause some issues, not sure if Solo builds theres like that or not though.

 

Yea that’s what I’m thinking caused the problem, I’m pretty positive all of everything is f’d up but my toe is probably the best reason cause the guy has told me in the past that the toe is maxed out and the extensions are too long. But on this alignment I never got to get the paper cause solo brought the truck to the shop themselves

I’m not sure if you have to remove them but solo said something about messing with them would help them align the truck better. It’s just I don’t want to have to pay to have an f’d up alignment fixed out of my own pocket, plus the tires.

 

Toed out to much, that may be an issue being no more toe adjustment, I'd be curious to see what the alignment was set at.

 

Just the price of the stance life

 

I had the toe out of wack pretty bad on an older car I had after installing some new tie rods, I did the best I could myself at the time to get it back close to spec. Couldn't get in to get an alignment until a week later... Driving to work with it like that for only a week (was my only vehicle at the time) and my NEW tires looked like yours. Bad toe can definitely eat your tires in a huge hurry. I learned my lesson the hard way. I don't think out of camber spec will eat your tires so fast... I'm no pro though so I can't say for certain. After living the Honda life for quite awhile and running stupid camber numbers all I can say is I never had tire wear like that even due to ridiculous camber. I'm saying very bad toe numbers.

 

Don't dismount them and remount them reversed. They're worn out on the inside. If you flip them they'll be worn out on the outside. What did that accomplish? That doesn't help water evacuate and you've wasted $50.

 

Fix the issue,and keep the tires.

 

Sorry that happened, but if i did a lot of traveling i wouldn't have made those mods in the first place. Stock suspension and Mich Defenders. My 0.02.
