So on my first set of oem dunlops, I noticed that there was excessive tire shoulder wear on the front drivers side. I rotated the tires about every 9-10k miles until I swapped in new Conti DWS 205/50 R16 at 29k miles.

Well after 7k miles I started seeing similar wear on the front drivers side tire again and decided I needed to get my alignment checked out.

Interestingly enough, the toe was out of spec on the front passenger wheel - -0.24deg (-0.12-0.12), NOT the front driver side wheel. Got it adjusted to 0.05deg. Hopefully this will fix the uneven tire wear that I've been dealing with. If you have the same issue, get your alignment checked out.

 

ive noticed the same on mine.. front driver side too.. my daily ride in to work is rough though.. some of the roads feel like im driving on railroad tracks its so bumpy so I'm not surprised.. i'll def look into it when I switch out the stock rubber.. keep us updated if your issue goes away

 

Now that I think about it, I remember hitting an enormous pot hole on i95 going through NY. After hitting it I was sure the tire would go flat... but thankfully it didn't and I was able to drive home to VA. I stopped to check and there was a large bubble on the sidewall. I'm pretty certain that is what caused the FR Toe to be out of spec.

So I'm thinking that since it was way off spec on one side, it would affect the other side tire wear?
