Default Does this tire wear look reasonably normal?...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/47675/img_5889.jpg"></center><p>The view is of the left-front (Pilot Sport)tire, looking backwards, with the inside edge of the tire to the left. (approx. 18k miles.) There is noticably more wear on the inside edge of the tread. Is this normal or do I need an alignment or camber adjustment. ...still running stock suspension for now, and getting new tires in a few days. They are quite noisy right now.

Default Not enough curvy roads in Nebraska, I guess! ....

It's a shame to get rid of them, but they're so damn noisy now. I figure I've put at least 2/3 of my 24k miles on these summers, and the rest on the snows. We took three long summer trips too.
But otherwise, you don't see any problems with the uneven wear?

hard to tell from the angle of the pic, but they don't look too bad to me
