Rep Power: 0 Severe tire wear on all four corners!!
'07 Civic 4 door.
GF's car that I maintain.
Original tires were changed 65k ago for some Sumitomos. They got changed because of severe tire noise. Why were they noisy? All four tires were severely worn on the inside edge. I've seen this type of wear on fronts, but never on all four!
Alignment was done after new Bridgestones were installed and the only slight deviation from being EXACTLY in alignment was a slight left rear toe. All cambers were well within specs and were not changed during the alignment.
So why did they ALL get so badly worn that way? Is this common to newer civics or something I need to investigate further. A control arm recall pops up but I havent found any real documentation of it.
Thanks for any quality input.

How long ago were the new tires put on and alignment done?

there are rear control arm issues on 06+ civics, but if your alignment was set fine and didnt change, theres no problem.

Are you talking about the inside of the car or the inside of the tread?
If it is the inside of the car then it's alignment issues.
If it's the inside of the tire itself then it's over inflated.
Check your tire pressure and use the pressure that is on the sill of your drivers side door, not the max pressure on the sidewall of the tire.
Go to the dealer and have them replace the control arm if it hasn't already been done (it will be free).

Re: Severe tire wear on all four corners!!
I had this same issue on my 06' Civic changed tires at 50,000 miles put on Good Year Triple Treads and have been getting increasingly severe tire noise lately. When I had the tires rotated today the mechanic noted that there was severe wavy wear on the insides of all four tires. He told me that this was due to worn front and rear suspension. He said this was an issue on smaller vehicles due to similar designs. I am going to get a second opinion but it seems logical as I have 95,000 miles on the car and haven't even touch the suspension and the tire wear matched one of the displays they had. I will update as I find out more information.

A worn suspension can significantly increase tire wear, and the factory suspension would typically need replacing by 95,000 miles. Without seeing your vehicle, I'd say your mechanic is dead on.
