Just noticed that my front tires are both wearing very fast (probably 70% after maybe 15k miles)
-I installed turbo tie rods last summer and got everything as straight as I could after finishing the job, but I wonder if this may be why the tires are wearing out so fast? -maybe too much toe-in?? the car also seems maybe overly sensitive or twitchy? what ya think? -have an allignment done, or is it normal to burn through tires this fast? I'm not tracking it, just fast street driving.. |

If you just do tie-rods and don't disturb the camber/caster setting on the strut all you need to do is adjust the toe. This is easily done by a competent DIYer. Do some searches on DIY alignement.
