I have a 99 civic ex on 16" rims. Im ridin on 205/40/16 tires and 2 out of 4 of my prada spec 2's have blown out within 10,000 miles. Ive blamed it on the small tire profile and my stiff ride. Is this the problem?


My civic is dropped about 2.5 inches (H&R race springs). Would 205/45/16's be a better choice? Im not sure if they would rub or not which is why I got the 40 series in the first place.

 

Inside edge wearing off?

 

inside sidewall blew a hole threw on one.
the other im unsure of since my car is still on the blow tire. i haven't checked it yet.

 

probably have a camber/alignment problem and thats why the tires are wearing out extra fast and probably also why you are blowing them out

 

what pressure are you running? i blew two tires once because i hadn't checked the pressure before turns out the guy who installed them had the pressure waaaay too high

I doubt it. I only have camber issues in the rear and it aint even that bad. Also there is no noticeable wear since the tire that jus blew out had no more than 7k on it and i've rotated them twice. Front has no camber problem and that tire blew out also. Ima go with Dunlop SP Sport FM901's next. Im scared wat my last 2 tires will do now.
