why is my tire stretch un-even ?

was adjusting my coilovers today took off my wheels, I noticed how my inner camber side had more stretch than my outer wheel face side.

anyone know if this is correctable ? did the tire mount guy fuk up ? what gives ? did it become more stretched because it is the camber side ?

[B]outer wheel face side[/B]

Because the weight of the car is sitting on the inner corner part of the tire more than stock camber when the weight of the car is in the middle of the tire.
If it were possible to mount the wheel backwards, not that you would ever want to, lol, the tire would eventually go to the other side.
The only way to reverse this is to put the tires on the other wheel, do this when the inner part of the tire starts to wear out, and you will be fine.

so this is perfectly normal aye ?

It actually has to do with the drop design of the wheel itself.  Depending on how the internal drop is, the tire might flex more in that direction than the other.  Sometimes it's pretty extreme.

It could also be the tire design, I have seen this happen with normal OEM size tires on OEM wheels, although not to this degree.

so this is normal yeah ? anyone else experiencing this ?

Are you reading what we're saying?  It is normal in certain circumstances.  As far as tire design that has everything to do with sidewall reinforcement, and that's it.  What I referred to above is the main underlying reason.

Hes right, when I was ignorant, I spent alot of time trying to go against that theory. I took the wheel to about 4 different locations and even tried 2 different brand tires. ALthough, my stretch was more extreme. The inner barrel was exposed about 40mm

[I]I [/I]since went with a different brand tire and one size larger.

My FK452's did that too, I noticed it when I flipped my tires. What was once the inner side was now on the outside, since it was on the outside I kept looking at it. When I flipped the tires I discovered that one of the tires had blisters inside due to a separated belt in the inside side wall, needless to say it was replaced with a new tire. The other tire was fine so that one actually got flipped (this is the one I was looking at that had the  imperfection). Since the other side was brand new I kept looking at each side visually comparing. I actually thought this flipped tire might have started separating too, guess not. The tire techinian told me during the flipping process that all my other tires were fine, so I only changed the blistered one. I don't know next time I may just go with Nexen, Nankang, or Hankook I know they are not on the same level as Falken tire, but I have not really been impressed with the Falken and I spent good money on them when I could have gotten the other brands cheaper.

[QUOTE]Nankang, or Hankook[/QUOTE]
Both are good, cheap tires and have yet to give me problems.  Im running Hancooks up from and Nankang in the rear.

I bet quality wise they are all same, fk452 just has a ton of marketing behind it.

nexxen, kumho, federal etc.

After Grant's recommendation i am looking for a cheap source of Federal tyres, but until i find that i will stick with the Kumho's and Nankangs that i have now. No point buying expensive tyres if i am replacing them once a year (not as if i am racing the car!)
 
And yes, the Kumho has a bit uneven stretch, but its always the inside that does it, even after flipping them
