Rear tires are wearing - what should I do? (Split thread)

[Dirk Diggler]

Excellent advice! Its these little caveats that keep thread reading worth it in IMO. There are nuggets of comedic gold scattered all through out here in Mirage World.

Did you read through the Rear Alignment FAQ and contact Mitsubishi Corporate yet? I'm interested in knowing if Corporate will give you different advice than your dealer.

Yep, no go from Mitsubishi Corp. They used the independent alignment report against me. Claiming it establishes that Im barely within official Mitsubishi specs. At this point Im over it. Best I can do is rotate my tires every 5k miles, keep em a lil over recommended psi, and just plan on buying 175s every couple of years.

Your alignment numbers are actually not that bad. With regular rotation I doubt you’ll really notice the difference.

Could we get a pic of the tire wear you were concerned about? With axle specs like these, you might see abnormal wear patterns over tens of thousands of miles, but not thousands of miles.

Mine is also a tiny bit out, and I don't see any wear issues at all. Of course, it is my camber that is slightly off...not my toe.

Ill do it in the morning. At work right now, got some sloppy drunks about ready to fight at my bar.

Thanks man appreciate you!

If you want to see what rear tires look like on a Mirage with really bad rear toe settings, check out the images in THIS thread.

Mine dont like that bad thank God. Its just the very outer tread on both rears are more worn down than the middle and inner treads. Ill take pics tomorrow. Goddamn yall a great group of fellas, I mean it. I bet if this was a BMW forum others would be like "Just stop being so poor." lol

Hey a little off subject but if any of you guys are into live action role playing or larping hit me up. Were doing another event soon here in Atlanta and it would be cool to get my Mirage peeps decked out in armor and battle it out. Here's a clip of one epic battle that shook the very foundation of American society. Check it out amigos!https://youtu.be/Ggt9qKpbzxI
