This is assuming this wear is on oall four tires. If the fronts are the only ones with the inside and outside edges qworn differently then it may just be cornering wear there. However the tires seem to indicate low pressure all around. Low pressures were reccocommended commended in the past for a softer ride. Try taking the tire pressure up near maxuomimaximum (32lbs on older style ansd 36 on metrics....It says on the tire) nsand I think you'll find the wear better, the gas mileage better and the handling better. Rigder will be a bit harsher however. Keith Bauer White Tiger Racing
