looks like a camber problem. have the front end inspected.
4noReason Thanks this. -

Why is there so much side scuff wear on the side wall of those tires? They look pretty worn/weather checked for only being a year old.
4noReason Thanks this. -
Flat spots can be from a balance issue or bad shocks. Those tires are in perty bad shape for only 1 year old.. looks like a lot of curb scuffing going on there and also the rounded corners could be from hard corning or bad toe in setting. What air pressure are you running??
All and all I would check pressures and get an alignment done and a fresh pair shocks. Most importantly stop rubbing curbs.Last edited: Oct 16, 2017

These tires have been run underinflated and or the toe is off (too much toe in). Or possibly a combination of both.
jamespmack and 4noReason Thank this. -
they are 110 psi. i went prob to 90 psi lowest . i never hit a curb tho. maybe i need a new shock
-
Definitely a front end problem I doubt a shock is the only problem going on there.

First I think they are rotating the wrong way. Second, from the look of the prints on the side of the tire, either they have been rubbing alot or they were stored for a loooong time. Tire looks so dry.
I would check for shocks, bearings or kingpin.rabbiporkchop Thanks this. -
