[QUOTE="Carey Frennier, post: 954769, member: 66764"] Wear on both outside treads = low psi. On one side usually means alignment. If your alignment is good its probably the dynamics of the vehicle. I believe ford adressed this issue with the 09+ STA with better sway control. Thus less odd wear on the tires. I sold tires when I was in college and 9 times out of 10, if I sold a guy extra wide tires (one or two sizes wider). He would be back with wear on the sides. It was because of the rim not being wide enough for the tire and it actually caused more body roll and faster wear than a tire that better fits the rim. Gotta have the right feet for those shoes kind of thing. [/QUOTE]
