At 20k realised both my front tires outboard side worn out and the rest of the remaining still in good condition. No mods done at all with normal driving scenario. Anybody experience this. It seems a bit premature for this to happen. Now I'm wondering if this is normal that I will need to replace tyres so early especially with the run flat pricing.

No it's Bridgestone Potenza. As attached picture both outboard shoulder worn as compared with the rest of the tyre. I doubt my suspension since it is quite new with only 20k mileage. Can alignment be so much out with 20k mileage, I mean this problem could have started earlier maybe round 15k for it to wear so much. I don't feel there is an alignment problem when driving, car handles normally.
 
Its either alignment or you have been a naughty boy. been cornering hard?
normally outside wear is either alignment or hard cornering. do go check out first.
 
Usually we will do an alignment every 10k. I know some people who do it more frequently as they run trough potholes more often hence upsetting the alignment quicker.
 
Yes, it is alignment issue. When u collect the car doesn't mean that the alignment is done correctly.
 
Outside wear can also mean you are under steering in the corners
 
Thanks all for the helpful feedback. Looks like I need to go for alignment more with the road condition we have in Kota Kinabalu and try not to be too naughty eh.
