Is that excessive toe out that causes the inside of the tires to wear like that?? I knocked the right front out of alignment going over some curbing @ Moroso and it really started to wear the inside like that. The alignment yesterday helps im sure...

Congrats on the new purchase and its nice you have another set of wheels so you can run some harder rubber on the street. That would be nice...

optional warranty? for what...it's a tire....if I get a flat I have a spare and I know how to change wheels.

siisgood, yes I have fair amount of toe out in the front (1/8"). I'm actually gonna have the toe set back to zero all around 'cause with my new suspension taking full advantage of the contact patch and transferring the weight properly I don't need a hairy alignment to get the car to rotate

i wouldnt call that an excessive amount of uneven wear at all. looks fairly even quite frankly.

actually, if you look at the inside, there are bits of cord showing in some places

With the warranty they will replace a tire due to impact damage (nail, sidewall failure after hitting a curb, etc.), so it's nice to have if you've had to scrap relatively new tires.

I wish that I had another set of wheels...
