Are you using the original tires? Do you keep them properly aired, my info says about 30 psi. Do you rotate tires every 6--8 thousand miles? Are tires balanced? If tires wear more on one side than the other, I would have to check camber. Camber is whether the top of the tire leans in or out. If it is set on zero, I believe it would work ok. If you want it on the exact spec take it to alignment shop, let them check suspension and alignment.
