I just bought a '94 Accord EX sedan on wednesday. I didn't notice at the time but after looking the car over some more, I saw that on the front tires the inner part of the tire is extremely worn whereas the rest of the tire has a fair amount of tread left. What is causing this and what should I do besides replacing the tires? Thanks.

 

I might be wrong, but I wood look into alignment... if it is off, you will see a big tire wear... if tires are still in the OK condition, try rotating them.

also, what tires are installed?
About a year ago I bought a new 05 Accord Ex Coupe (with stock Michelin tires) and i had to go through at least 4 tires already at 250 a pop...
so, if you have Michelin installed, i would wait until they are gone and go with something else...

 

its an alignment issue. lowered?

 

Nah its stock..Gotta be an alignment...If they guy didnt change the timing belt and the car has 134k i doubt he got an alignment ......Told ya you shoulda started at 3k and worked up

 

werd...i didn't even notice the irregular wear until today. i knew they didn't have all that much life left in them anyway. Anybody have a suggestion for a good all-around, affordable tire to replace these with? It currently has "Barum" tires or something like that. :a:

 

I just got a pair of Falken as my front tires... I LOVE them! They just don't want to let the road go! doesn't matter what I do!
In a way, I'm an extreme driver and I tend to take turns at least 20mph faster than suggested speed and these tires never made me think twice about doing that!
Check them out... I got them from American Tire Company at $92/tire (http://www.tires.com)

other good brands that I trust are: Dunlop, Sumitomo, Yakohama, Pirelli
also check out http://www.tirerack.com they have them all

Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I have the stock wheels so I need a 15" tire. I think it's 195-60-15 currently. I don't really want to spend anymore than like $70 a tire and they don't need to be really performance oriented. I want something with a decently long treadlife, low road noise, and a fairly good looking tread pattern.

 

well... i wouldn't really recommend buying something cheap either
Tires are probably #1 element for safety and I wouldn't recommend saving a lot on them... my tires are stock 17" and i'm pretty sure that's why the price is up there (my stock once were like $250!!!)
anyhow... i'm sure that if you do a search on those websites and most likely you will find something good within your pricerange there... but I would stay within the brands I named... I had very good experience with all of them... btw... I forgot to mention GoodYear
