P500 2022 P520 Excessive Front Tire Wear

[grease monkey]

Started riding more on hard surfaced roads and really didn't notice excessive front tire wear until oil service was due. Got about 1000 miles on my P520, front tire wear is about twice that of what on rear tires have for wear. Decided it wouldn't hurt to check front wheel toe on a 6-month-old machine, WOW, factory toe in was set at almost 1 inch!! Apparently, Honda or the dealership doesn't care if you ride on hard surface roads. Moral of the story, check your machine's toe in before riding on hard surfaced roads instead of grinding down a pair OEM front tires.

Most of them come toe out. Something about making the steering less jerky.

Good reminder for people, pavement is really hard on tires not rolling straight.

From the factory, mine was just about right. I had to correct my steering wheel, because it was way off. So, I decided to do a hillbilly alignment check. It was pretty good, but I've heard a lot of people notice that their alignment was way off on a new machine.
