Tires

help guys! Ive had my 8 for only three months and I noticed that the tires are starting to wear on the outside edges. Is this normal for low profile tires? how do I know when to change my tires .

Do you have dunlops or bridgestones? If BS I never saw that in almost 2 years street & track, and would check your pressure to make sure it's at spec or higher. Or maybe you are doing too many donuts???:D Good luck anyway.

No TPMS will only tell you when you are dangerously low. If you are consistenly a few lbs. low it will just result in uneven wear patterns. Donuts, are when you drive really quickly in a circular pattern (like a skidpad), will tear up the outside of your tires, but is really fun. :D

maybe your tires are a little under-inflated?
