Actually, the one set of tires I ruined prematurely were worn on the inside edges. I *think* that it was caused by excessively undeersteering on backroads with rough pavement, and it was the inside shoulder of the inside front that was taking the most wear. Even when I know I've plowed through a run or two at autocross, it's not really the ouside shoulders that get beat up provided I have enough tire pressure. I think with our strut setup and awful camber curves, the inside tire takes the most abuse if you're not drifiting or something. Or maybe I'm totally on the wrong track and it was just plain camber that killed 2 of my first set of S03s. :shrug:
