Now i have to get 2 new front tires anyone have any ideas on what i wont spend a fortune for and will be good tires and will last for a good time. the size is on and 18x9 rim and i had 265/35/18 on there before .

If it is still happening, I would first find out why before dumping cash on tires that are just gonna get ruined again.

I have kuhmo estas on my car now and love them, but if price is an issue, I say go with some bf kdws or even pirrelli.

Just my :2cents:

Has car ever been in an accident? suspension mods? If no to both questions and both tires are still wearing in the same way (R & L) and as before the alignment I would have someone else redo the alignment

No accidents before and when i get the new tires put on im gonna have it realigned so that it doesnt happen again. if i upgraded my suspension you think that it would be better bc we all know how bad the front end of mustangs are

My suspension question was to eliminate a possible cause. I am not a Mustang expert so I can not comment on Mustang front ends....are they really that bad?

No they are not really that bad. I had the same t1r's on my mustang when I bought it. The tires are really good actually and wore perfectly. Sounds to me like your alignment is off or your tires are towing in a bit too much. Did you get the sheet after the alignment with the specs and where your car fell?

i had an 04 gt... always ate up the outside edge of the tires.... see it a lot on mustangs. might be the norm. my 07 even chops the outsides a bit :( cant do anything to fix it.

i wouldn't put 265/35 18' in the front... try 245/40. 35 is too thin and 265 is a bit wide for the front

yea but rami my dude i have the rims already and they are an 18x9 inch rim so i dont think 245 would fit on that rim probably too small otherwise i would def go smaller
