      Tire Wear Question

      I have an unmodified 2009 Aveo 5 LT. The issue I'm having is that the stock tires are wearing more on the outside of the tires than the inside. The when I took the car in for a warranty issue the dealer did an alignment on it. The former front tires were so bad that the outside lugs were almost totally worn off while the inside was like new. Is this from accelerating while cornering, or is there something wrong with my alignment? I switched the fronts to the rear to start over, since wear is uniform in the rear and I'm starting to notice it's happening again. I've been paying close attention to not accelerate hard while turning, but the outsides are starting to wear more than the inside again. Please advise!!!

      my stock tires looked new after 30k miles

      rabbit has said many times that the factory tires on the 2nd gen aveos are not very good, not like they cost much to begin with anyways, must be an import fan though, what a silly reason to hate a car

      "there GM franchise".....that is some good grammer, also should have used "are $138" instead of "is $138"

      must be aveorob or somebody in disguise, I can buy new tires for under $70 each easy

      I guess your car is junk if you had to maintain it

      in defense, $34 is the price of the 14" kumhos.. even so, much better tires can be had in the 15" variety for @ $50 each, plus shipping and mounting for a total @ $300..
