Default STRANGE TIRE WEAR (PLS. HELP)

I have the BF Goodrich G-Force 205/45/16 my car is really low with K*Sport Coilovers... on my DC2

The issue... my tires were all evenly tread wear, I started to noticed my front passenger tire is "REALLY" wearing FAST!!!..... the wear is in the middle of the tire... NOT inner camber or outer camber....

my 3 tires are now 45% and the other tire is zero tread it looks like a drag slick hehe

some people say i have too much air in the tire...

some say alignment....

what could be the problem?

thanks!

your tires maybe over inflated. people usually set they're tire pressure at 32-35psi

Yes, tread wearing in the middle of the tire more than both edges is typically a symptom of overinflation.

Other possibilities are an alignment or suspension problem.

Side note, I have seen people useing the pressure gauges located on the pumping stations at gas stations or using these little pencil type pressure guages. I researched these and it turns out they are really not that reliable. I recommend that you get a dial kind. Something that looks like this. Don't be cheap and try to save $0.75, get a decent one. It should not be expensive as well.

i doubt it's overinflation. if the tire is going insanely fast, then it's got to be out of spec toe.

That's part of the alignment. Get it done at a shop that has all the right equipment to do a complete alignment.
