Inside tire wear on 15" rims on '99 Civic EX sedan
We have a '99 EX sedan 5-speed That I put 15" after market wheels shod with 195/55R15 tires. During teh winter I roll the stock 14" steelies with snows all around.
The new tires on the rims are wearing unevenly on the inside more than outside at all four positions? The car recently had a $ wheel alignment for the stock 14" steelies. Do I have to get it aligned with the +1 " size wheels on it or is there another fix?

usually means they set the toe wrong. Or you are carrying alot of weight in your car ALOT.

I'm also assuming you are running the correct air pressures?
