Leading evidence: 'Use but may be older' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'alignment and not your tires' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check right now' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Suspected cause
If you are running significant amounts of camber and are getting severe camber wear; then your problem is with your alignment and not your tires.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

They are non directional. However there is an outer sidewall and an inner sidewall. The tire can be mounted on either side of the car, and rotated from side to side.
They might not be rotational... if they say "outside" on the side wall then you only need to make sure you mount them that way, but they can go on either side of the car.
Hi, they are on some GT3 wheels I bought. The outsides are cool but I guess they are not directional. I took off the stock wheels and Bridgestones and the rears are pretty worn. The thing I noticed was right rear was worn more than left side. In a car with the traction of the C4S I was surprised? I need the UPS guy to get here with my 17mm spacers. Then when my wife comes home she might not notice
Steve
Pilot Sport are directional.......no doubt.
PS2s I believe also are.........s/be an 'inside'...'outside' designation........AND looking at tread, see how tread on one side is dif than other.......see how water would be channeled away with one direction of rotation......not the other.
Yup, that how they are mounted but there are no directional marks so at least I can rotate side to side and keep them on longer. The tires came mounted from a Rennlist memeber, you may remember all my questions about rear offset etc. I tried the rear on but with 63 offset they rubbed inner fender just barely. FYI
Front says 91Y N2
Rear says 98Y N2
"Outside" is clearly marked. The tires are barely used but may be older. Does N2 mean OEM/factory?
Steve
If "outside" is written on the tire, it doesn't matter what side of the car you put them on.
Do you mean that once mounted you wouldn't switch sides? If so, why?
maybe I misunderstood.......usaually with signif neg camber we have uneven (inside...on both sides) .......switching right to left accomplishes nothing in that regard...so thought he was talking dismount-remount.
......either way I still wouldn't do it.
Original Pilot Sports ARE directional.
I would keep them rotating in the same direction once they are mounted. No basis for that other than that is what my dad always told me growing up. I have the PS2 ribs and they are directional. They also seem to were about the same, I am not sure I would see an advantage rotating them side to side.
Kris
If you think about it, the best traction in the world is asymmetrical (read, treadless). That said, I've driven both directional and asymmetrical tires and I think the trade-off between the two is between dry and wet traction (the directional being better at the latter).
As for the tires, I do know that the PS2 is asymmetrical while teh Pilot Sport (N0) is directional. Do you happen to have a photo in order to see to what you are referring? Frankly, just looking at the tread should be enough to tell you.
If you are running significant amounts of camber and are getting severe camber wear; then your problem is with your alignment and not your tires. Flipping tires won't fix incorrect camber settings.
