    I just can't figure out why all of a sudden it ate through them like this. I've run these tires at the drag strip both times I've gone and at the track when I went to the road course event. The tires looked fine after all of that and I was rotating them after the drag strip and such. Not too long ago, I replaced the worn out outer tie rod ends and have just been daily driving it and now I find this... And unfortunately I'm strapped for cash bad right now and am looking at replacing 2 tires that will not be covered under warranty from Discount Tire + a front end alignment. Guess I'll be driving the beater car for a bit...

    probably the combination of tie rods being changed. And not set right(just a fraction off and it will do things)

    And the autox more the likely messed with the front end. May not seem like it but it beats on the front end. I check and adjust mine few times a year. Because of the abuse the front end sees on track days.

    Does that also hold true for aggressive street driving? I like to throw my bitch around in turns kinda hard sometimes lol.

    lol yep it will. its a common thing people over look. When you are driving balls to the wall. You need to maintain your engine. And it holds just a true for the suspension.

    I follow the motto "Broken engine will ruin your day. Broken suspension will kill you!"

    Lol no kidding. Finding that yesterday was a pure fluke, too. I was pissed off from arguing with my wife about some stupid shit and decided to go outside and scrub my calipers clean to blow off some steam and found I was on the verge of 2 blowouts. Guess everything happens for a reason, huh. If it hadn't been for that, I'd have just kept right on driving it till they popped.
