So i got some Dunlop Direzza Z1 tires for the Celi 205-50 R16. had the car re-aligned within a week. Anywho they ran fine for the first 2000 miles then the car started to rumble and I shrugged it off (because of a different problem with the harmonic balancer). When I was rotating the tires I noticed really bad cupping on the inside of both front tires. I checked they cant rub on anything, struts are not great but still pass the bounce test, properly inflated tires. One thing I should say is that the cupping starts on the lip where the tread grooves are. The only thing i can think of is that the tire is too squared off at the lip and the cornering is pealing off the rubber. any other ideas?
Too late to take a picture. |

I'd say get an alignment.
Sounds like the toe is out of wack. Meaning the wheels are pointing inward (like crossing your eyes) or the other way around I cant remember which. -------------------- ![]() 6gcHeroes:808hectortimmybatmandiegotigamak |
