    Unusual Tire Wear

    I have some unusual tire wear that is happening on my E30.

    I bought new tires for it at the end of May. I autocrossed a few times and put on new tie rods.
    Coming home from an autocross I noticed it pulled a bit. And then over time the front tires started to wear. Alot.

    Today after work I noticed it has gotten to the point where you can see the steel wires.

    Another thing is that I am a bit of an aggressive driver and live in a city where you hit large potholes every 50 feet.... so that probably caused something to go wrong.

    In this picture you see the rear tire. Both look the same, and look almost brand new with a small amount of war.


    Here you see the front left tire. The left side of the image is the outward side of the wheel.


    And lastly the right tire. The left side of the image is the part of the tire that faces out of the car.


    Thanks in advanced.

        Have a four wheel alignment done to see what the numbers are.
        The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          Turned out that the bushings were completely worn and the alighnement was way off
