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.

Thanks for the feedback I had the tires at 48 PSI the recomended amount from the guys at Tire rack to fit my car with the custom rims and tires. even if they were over inflated the tires would have started cupping or wearing from the center. found out the mechanic wasn't so good he screwed up a couple of the other cars camber and did/attempted a four wheel alignment on a rear wheel drive truck.

Never going there again mad.gif
