Yokohama AVS ES100's

Anyone ever had these?? I bought a set in September, (215-45ZR17's) and they are already completely bald. Got about 2000 miles out of them, if that. Still don't have a camber kit on the car so that may be why they wore so fast, but not sure if it would have made them wear THAT fast. Also, looking for a new set right now. Looking at the Neo-Gen's. They any better on wear?? Should mention that I have done a few quick burnouts at the track, but not very many. Just long enough to warm tires up. I did more with my Kumho's and they are still in good shape.

When was the last time you got an alignment?

I have a set of 205/50 15 ES100's on my Civic, and almost 7k miles later they are still very hearty in tread. Sounds like you have a very bad toe problem with your alignment. They shouldn't wear out that fast, nor should really any other tire.

Havn't had an allignment done since I bought the car last Novermber, but I didn't drive it for seven months while I was in Iraq so it hasn't really been that long since it's last one.

Did you buy the car used? I get an alignment twice a year (race settings and winter settings). So I recommend at least once a year or once every other year.

I bought it used, but it had an allignment done before I got it.

How low is the car dropped? I would go back and ask for 0 toe front and rear.

Car is dropped 2" all around.

I would get an alignment again and ask for 0 toe front and rear.

Do you think a lack of a camber kit might be a big part of the problem??

Not really. Toe affects tire wear more than camber. I'm dropped 2.25" with -2.7 front and -2.0 rear and my tires wear pretty well. But I also have 0 toe front and rear.

Camber does really suck. I have a set of Falken Zeix 512 which have a fairly hard compoud. They are shot after only like 10,000miles. For some reason when I got an alignment it got worse too. They started cupping after that. Good luck though.
