Have anyone else have had problems with their 17 Accord Hybrid wearing the inner of the tires fast.?? I bought 4 brand new tires about 4 months ago, now the inner side of the tires have been worned out and need replacing. Would a SPC camber kit fix the issue on the front and back?? . I’ve only put about 30k miles in this tires. The rest of the tires have about 85% life left.

I don’t know what’s wrong, everything looks good. There’s no leaking anything out off any boot, there’s no rips or any suspension components.

Sure! Many people who buy cheap, low quality tires and do not rotate them at regular intervals, as well as people who do not check tire pressure nor have their alignment checked while driving 7,500 miles a month as you have, usually wind up with uneven tire wear.

The tires were about $168 a piece, so they are not that cheap. I will admit that I didn’t rotate them the first 10, 000 miles. Alignment is done every 7k - 8k miles. The tire pressure is always ok, as if they are low on air the car will let me know. I also have nitrogen on them. This still doesn’t add up to why the inner tires are getting worned out. The rest of the tires have about 85% of thread left on them. Iam just curious if anyone else in here have had this problem before and how they fixed. As is a very common problem it seems on the Nhts complains that people have listed in that website about the 16-18 accords.

You don’t need alignment every 7-8K unless you’re hitting potholes at 45 everyday. Look at your alignment sheet, what are your rear camber numbers?
The TPMS system is passive, so you can calibrate it to accept 15 PSI in each tire; that doesn’t mean 15 is acceptable.
You need to rotate every 5K or so, fronts you the rear, rears crossed to front. What make/model tire are you running? Just because you paid $168/tire (that’s not expensive) doesn’t make them great tires. What is the treadwear rating?

1) You actually get an alignment done every 7-8 thousand miles?!?! That is a red flag right there- can you post the alignment sheets showing alignment specs before and after?
2) Your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) does not prevent uneven tire wear. You should know your tire pressure and what the TPMS is used for.
3) Nitrogen in tires? Oh man...
4) Not sure how you are getting your information, but I just looked at the NHTSA website and here are the complaints about tires:
2016 4 door Honda Accord: 3 complaints are about tires out of 288 total complaints. None of the tire complaints are about inner tire wear, or wear of any kind. Just the usual gang of illiterates saying they had a flat tire and had to wait for a tow truck. Who cares?
2017 4 door Honda Accord: 2 complaints about tires out of 159 total complaints. More illiterates complaining about hitting potholes and having to get new tires. Again, how do people this stupid find gainful employment to get a job that will pay for an Accord?
2018 4 door Honda Accord: 2 complaints about tires out of 290 total complaints. (This is the 10th Gen Accord, not the 9th). I can't fully understand the illiterate ramblings of the two posters complaining about tires, but it is NOT about tire wear. One complains about the TPMS, the other about the radar (but lists this as a tire problem).
EDIT: @DARKART beat me to it...

You said 2016 - 2018 Accords as reported on the NHTSA website.This thread over here

Now you are talking about the 2015 Accord from a "lawfirm" and their website fishing for class action lawsuits....Did you actually READ any of the 13 complaints? Two are about tire cupping. That is 2 out of 13 posts. So this is most certainly NOT "...a very common problem it seems on the Nhts complains that people have listed in that website about the 16-18 accords."
Please post your alignment spec sheets.
Please tell us how you are able to drive 7,500 miles a month and still have "about 85% tread remaining" on the good portion of the tire after 30,000 miles. Are these tires rated for 280,000 miles?

Here’s another thread from this page
www.driveaccord.net
Iam at Firestone right now getting a new set, I will post pics of the tires and alignment. Iam a business man, so I drive a lot on the interstate. I think my solution would be replacing the 3 piece rear camber parts.
UPDATE:
Here’s my camber specs , upper alignment was done about 7k miles ago. Bottom alignment was after it was corrected.

That’s the thing, that camber doesn’t seem to be too off.

Your rear camber is within spec. You will not be wearing out the inside of the rear tires as long as you are rotating properly. If you regularly carry heavy enough loads in the rear to increase the camber, just rotate more often.

yeah Iam going to be monitoring this really tight. I went with some Bridgestone turanza quiettrack VS the fire hawks I had before.

Front toe was out too far (too negative). That is what likely caused the excessive inner wear. If it was too positive, you'd see excessive outer wear.
And if you had rotated the tires and moved the fronts to the rear and the rears to the front, all 4 tires would end up with excessive inner wear.

Wouldn't make a difference if toe is out of spec... which for Elcatrachito18, it was.
