This is for my 2018 Genesis G80, the front tires wear more on both the inner and outer shoulders. I bought it at 83k miles, currently 107k. It had basically new Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+ tires on it when I bought it, which are supposed to have tougher shoulders. Alignment at the dealership at 91k and 102k miles. Tires rotated side to side every 5,500 miles or so at oil change time. It has staggered tires.
I had what's currently the RF tire replaced at 91k miles due to a pothole. I got an alignment at the dealership at that time. This tire has all 4 grooves at 8/32" tread. The shoulders are starting to wear more.
The LF tire has 24k+ miles on it, currently 6/32" tread across all 4 grooves. But the shoulders are pretty darn warn, they look worse in person. I am not a slow driver, so cornering and highway curves are pretty speedy. But I thought this really only affected the outer shoulder of a tire? Odd since they're wearing on both the inner and outer shoulders.
My concern is that once I get lower in tread, there won't be really much of anything left on the shoulders. I guess I just need to run some more air in the front tires? The door placard asks for 33/38 psi, I always run the door placard +1. Just went out and set all 4 to 38 psi. Maybe my next set of tires I should get something a little more aggressive, though that might just run less tread-life all together and then it doesn't really matter.
The first 4 pics are the LF tire, the last 4 are the RF and alignment sheet.
And no, I was not the one who curbed the wheels
