While ''smoking'' my tires today this happened(pics)
The pic is of the rear wheel on the drivers side.i was siting at a light in front of my dads buissness partner and just laid on on the brake and accelerated.Like i said im running 32psi in the tires.
I noticed on my tires that the outside, like you posted in that pic is that mine are wearing a bit more than the rest, does that mean they are under inflated, i checked the pressure and it had 35psi, should i air them up some more so the outside doesnt wear worse than the rest.

Here is a easy test I use to test for correct tire pressure which changes with load and conditions.
Drive through a puddle of water and then after a revolution or two of the tire stop, get out, and look at the footprint that is left by the water on your tire. Look at the concrete not your tire.
If your pressure is right it will be even all the way across.
High or low pressure is easy to spot and you can see other problems to.
You can wet part of your drive way and do this to. It just needs to be a flat level surface.
I just look for thoes puddles from folks over watering there grass or pull into a car wash wear it is flat.
People will give you funny looks but it sure works great and best of all its Free!

Go back to wear you did the burnout and look see if there is uneven pavement. Maybe that wheel was in a hole or low spot.
I would think one would bend or break a wheel before you bent the axle.
But stranger things have happened.
It amases me when I see cars and trucks dogtracking down the road and the driver doesn't seem the least concerned.

Let the rears down to 28 psi and scuff that Armorall off the edges.
Run at 28 psi on the rear around town unless you are carrying a load. If you are going on a road trip inflate them to 32 psi.
