[QUOTE="Doug Kaye, post: 1049585, member: 73761"] Clearly alignment problems.. the tires on mine were worn like that, I got an alignment and some new tires which wore exactly the same way. After the second alignment (at a different shop) the second set of new tires is doing much better. As Kale says, need to get the before and after spec sheets from the alignment shop, to see what is happening. If the shop doesn't provide those specs then find another shop. Several possibilities - conditions, if lots of potholes in your local streets and/or plenty of off/dirt road driving, can knock the alignment out pretty quick something worn out in the alignment adjustment bolts etc, so the alignment doesn't hold: or the camber is no longer adjustable within spec and you need a camber kit if 2001-3 model, there is a TSB - [URL]https://testing-public.carmd.com/Tsb/Download/34961/tsb04-24-19[/URL] [/QUOTE]
