I'm just warning you guys if you have nitto tires on your car,just check them..I've had dunlop yokohamas and never had a problem..The tires gave me excellent grip.The photos of the tire wear dont do it justice.It had a 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch groove on the egde of the tire..Then the rest of the tread was flat..The guys at the tire shop even said it was rubbing and the wear on the tire lined up with the marks on the inner guard..No problems with front end..I've owned the car from day one..never had a front ender.The wear didnt happen over night but over a period of time.(maybe a year)This could become a dangerous situation if you have a tire failure due to rubbing at high speeds..Just a heads up guys..In no way do I blame the nitto tire..The only explanation I can come up with is ,the tire had to be wider tire..No one really has come up with any answers to explain it..
