Man it's been a long time...

...since my last post! In case any of you remembered, I was going to sell my CL, I haven't yet, It's very hard to part with. But anyway, I needed some advice from you guys.

I am on my second set of tires, Sumi's, and I'm at 40K miles. I changed the Pilots at 32,000 miles because the front tires were absolutely worn down to nothing. I mean, there was no tread left at all. While looking at my car the other day with a friend, he looked at my front tires. Believe it or not, at 40K miles, the centers of both of my front tires are completely bald! Now, I haven't done any burn outs or anything like that since I've put the Sumi's on. and my fronts are just gone! My rears look absolutely fine however....so here is my question.

Does this sound like an alignment issue to you guys? This is the second set of tires of worn through without even trying. I feel like the car is set up wrong...

Has anyone out there had any similiar problems?

Thanks for anyhelp you can give me!

I love the "new" look of the forum too!

Sounds like overinflation.

Well...if it's got the proper inflation, sounds like it does...only thing I can think of would be it's "pin-toed"...like both tires are aimed inward, giving you baldness in the center.

There's a really good alignment center in Wilmington...Bear Suspension...they seem to know what's wrong with shit over the phone. I'd take it to them.
