Typo mistake or is it really 155/55R15. Have not seen this narrow a tyre in 55 series.....

1) If you do more cornering than straight road then follow bro. red mini suggestion of setting your camber to more negative, but I don't think 2 degree, can try 1.5 first.
2) Another will be to get harder sidewall tyres.
3) Put more air pressure
4) Get directional tyres, so when the outside wears off, can flip them inside out and then swap left to right.

You went smaller from 165/60, most would have gone 175/50.
155/55R15 very little tyre choice as mention seldom come across this size.
What model of Kumho are you using? SPT KU31?

power sliding a FF car? wow...i think what tires you put also will shave the side easily with that kind of driving practice...maybe you need to change driving habit 1st...learn how to preserve the tires so that it can last longer...just my 2 cent... 15" tires not so that expensive to buy...but if you change to bigger size tires for example 17"...then you gonna face poket koyak syndrome if wanna change tires especially those Ultra High Performance Tires...

17" depends on what size. Common size like 215/45R17 also have cheap tyres.....:rolleyes:

first...

use 195/50-15 tyre.....any brands thats suits your budget..


second....

go to alignment shop and do -2.0 degree front chamber with -1degree for rear chamber....

guarranteed the tyre will wear evenly on that route

any tyre also can lah....for a skillful driver

one tip for you: u need a good road contact tyre, so i suggest u get a tyre which has less groove and bigger pitch, and to reduce any wobbling effect, get a harder sidewall, and put air pressure 34-37psi at cold temp

well.. i didn't know if there any 155/55-15 tyre...the smallest i know is 165 width....

and even if he really using 155/55-15 tyre..it must be a small car (K car category) which no way it could fit 17inch rim as he says his option in first post.....



where is the thread starter ah??? :hmmmm:
