Denver Steve - Two years ago I stayed at Beaver Village in Winter Park for two weeks for a training. Easily the most beautiful place I've ever been. Rented a mtn., bike and biked whenever I was free.

Installing taller than stock tires & wheel spacers induces negative camber to the tire alignment which increases inner treadwear. I am guessing you are also seeing/feeling feathered edge treadwear not cupping due to front & rear toe setting being out of spec. What you need is a proper alignment by a mechanic capable of compinsating for the modifications. Don't waste your money rebalancing the tires as this has no affect on treadwear. If your car has over 60K miles or a leaking strut that could be a factor in the irregular wear.
