Question about my tire wear?
I have stock springs with kyb agx shocks, with gsr rims with brand new falken tires.
After a couple of months the front tire's tread is all gone on the + and - sides, the middle of the tires shows little tread left. It looks like camber wear but i dont noe why, since my car is not drop. The rear tires look brand new with alot of tread. What might be the problem, do i need a new camber or a alignment check.

Re: Question about my tire wear?
are you saying it's overly worn in the inside and the outside, but not the middle?
If so, that means they're underinflated. Excessive wear on both outsides is underinflation, excessive wear on the middle is overinflation.
If you mean that both fronts are worn on the inner side, you need an alignment. Most likely your toe is out of spec, which is normal as your suspension wears. I'd recommend getting an alignment every time you replace tires at the very least. You should also get an alignment every time you change the ride height or replace bushings.
Caster and camber CANNOT be out of spec on a Civic unless you have bent or overly worn suspension components. Civics have no adjustments for caster and camber, period... they only have toe adjustment.

yeh that might be the problem that i need a alignment because i got the shocks and tires at the same time and should have done a alignment check after words!

Dose the outer side means the same too, because it is the wore down to?

Re: Question about my tire wear?
the tires are wearing excessively on both inside and outside, but not middle?
That's underinflation. Air up your tires to the correct pressure.
