hey guys!!

i have a 2011 335i xdrive with 7500 miles on it and my front tires are balding on the inside walls, i have a picture attached... please fill me in if you guys know why this is happening? the tread is like this on both front tires and they both still have the rubber whisker things on them, the tires are bridgestone potenza re050a rfts..

I also noticed that when i turn the wheel all the way to either side i hear a sound as if the tires are touching the car which I don't understand because the car is bone stock.. stock rims and stock drive height hope you guys can help!

Your alignment is off. My car was delivered like that too. Get it aligned fast before tires are worn completely.

This happened to me and my Michelins, ruined the tires.

^^^^ this!!!

My alignment was off,
the toe was pointing too much outwards. The front of your tire (rim side) when driving in a straight line points towards the middle of the car basically for better grip with cornering, when pointed to much towards the tire away from the car the inside of your tires wear more quickly.

Hope this helped, good luck
