    What kind of tires? If they aren't hitting anything I think they are just coming to pieces, as in physically breaking down. I see that big tear on the sidewall in one pic, where it looks like the sidewall is just coming apart from the tread. I actually had a Michelin $teer do that. I showed it to several shops familiar with Michelins and they were stumped.

    Look for some shiny metal that would indicate tire rubbing frame or spring or something.

    You should have some stop bolts that prevent the steers from turning that sharp. Somebody must have messed with them since this is your problem in 2 days. On new tires.

    I don't think you have an alignment problem as the rest of the tread still looks good.

    If that is the case, it may well be the tires, I would not call dynatrac steer tires, and they may just be coming apart from turning.
    What ever is the cause, I do not think it will be an alignment issue.
     
    Newbieboy Thanks this.

    Both steers are going like this and passenger side is going faster than driver side. No one have seen anything like this before.

    i know the exact answer. you are driven on bad concrete roads. the different levels of busted up concrete and asphalt is doing that. hitting the holes in the road.

    Have you checked the underside off the hood for marks?
