I'm sure most of us drive somewhat aggresively, our cars are fun! But I didn't notice this intil I parked with my wheels turned...

I know most tires chip to a certain extent, but I hadn't ever experienced it where there's large chunks missing. :D My Kumho's never did that. :o

i have the same problems... which sucks beacuse i won't pass tech at the autocrosses with ripped tread like that :(

right now i'm debating on either a new cell phone, or Yokohama AVS ES100's (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=AVS+ES100&vehicleSearch=false&partnum=055VR5ES100&fromCompare1=yes)

is it just our tires being crappy or is our alignment or camber or whatever messed up?

or is it just the vegas roads :p

heh I dunno man, i'd say it's probably the shitty roads. BTW, everyone I've talked to who got the AVS ES100's has really liked 'em. I'm hoping I can hold out on tires long enough to be able to afford wheels at the same time.
