Default 22500 mile shock!

After 22500 easy driven miles, I had to have the front end stabilizer end links replaced. While it was on the lift it was noticed that my front tires were down to steel on the inside of each tire. I replaced the terrible Supercar tires with Goodyear Eagle F1 EMT GS-2. Front end allignment done AGAIN!

If the tires were down to the steel on the inside of each tire, you were smart getting an alignment. This is a pretty common problem with the alignment coming out of the factory. And as far as the "terrible" supercars, depends on what you want a tire to do, stick or wear? Sounds like you want them to wear. Personally I want the tires on my Honda to wear and those on the Vette to stick.
