Santron- The offset should not be the problem since the offset is the based on where the rim mounts compared to the centerline of the tire. It may be the alignment. I put a set of Pirelli PZero Nero M&S on my 97 and I have not had any noticiable outside wear. It has a lot better wear rating than the Dunlop so that could be a factor. I did a lot of reasearch before I purchased these tires and I have been nothing but happy with them.
