Here are some photos of the rear tires on my '02 X5. They are 19" Toyo Proxes ST's in 285. The tires have approximately 25,000 miles on them. The are mounted on 19" Mille Miglia Evo5 Sport wheels from The Tire Rack. (Plug, plug, plug.
)
As you can see, there is a visible wear pattern on the inside edges of the tires. The triangular marking are not something you can feel if you run your fingers over them. They are there more by the way the tire rolls and picks up dust, I think. The close up photos show some obvious uneven wear. The tires have also become very, very noisy.
Okay, so I've read a bunch online but I want to know what you guys think. Doc, your opinion is very much appreciated. It's time for new tires and I want to know if I need a 4 wheel alignment and/or to replace worn suspension components before I ruin another set of tires. I have to take it in for brakes so I wanted to get it all done at the same time.
Thanks in advance!
