The front tires seem to be feathering the outside edges on both front tires with 4800 miles. I had the alignment checked and everything seems ok.. within specs. I was running 30 psi in the front but I think that is too low when autocrossing. Went to 38 psi when autocrossing, 32 in the rear. I run 32 psi all 4 tires on the street.
