What size??? I know my 215-45-17's rubbed on the inside of the wheel well. And the rubber inside the wheel well is worn away (this was at stock height too).

Craig:

are you lowered????

If not, maybe you got a bad set of tires????

ya same size 17"s

alignment is good - tires we awesome till 2-3 weeks ago - im thinkin maybe shocks!! - car is not lowered

[Frost__2001]

is it a chopping noise at a certen speed limit ?? because if it is being new tires they could be over inflated and you should check on that, just to be safe.

Either that or maybe one of the tires has a bald spot on already. I know a while ago there was massive recalls on the Honda / Acura NSX for having tires that more or less had to be replaced ever few thousand / hundred klicks.

Is chopping the same as cupping, where the tread blocks are higher or lower than some?
If so, and your car is right than the tires are garbage and the place you bought them needs to replace them. This is very common with front bike tires, which the dealer will replace without question, as long as the air pressure is right.
