[Shop-talk] 2008 Mustang Tire Wear

Folks,

I have a 2008 Mustang GT (Bullitt model).  To my surprise, the front tires seem to wear more on the inside than the 
outside, which is unexpected since I try to spend as much time on the outside of the tread as possible (if you get my 
'drift').

Anyone have similar car with same issue?  Is this more common on 'modern' cars?  My other/previous vehicles always had 
more wear on the outside of the tread.  Is this car biased towards more negative camber in turns?  I do rotate regularly 
(front-to-back, rear crossover).

The wear seems consistent on both sides, and there is no cupping so I think alignment is probably OK (but I'll get it 
checked when I re-shod the car).

Bob
